I swung steel alone from the day I could lift a blade blood and mud my only steady ground you bested me in that first duel I bit your blade and smashed your face before you forced me to submit and offered a place under your banner your hand on my shoulder cracked the wall I kept we carved through the wars shoulder to shoulder your trust lifted me higher than any pay late talks stripped the weight bare I believed I stood equal till your words landed a true friend needs his own dream or it’s all false the ground split under me I walked away to find mine never knowing I killed your dream as I walked away in the cold rain I returned to the remnants starving and leaderless her sharp eyes met mine and locked me in a kiss I grabbed her hips and pulled her onto me Grief and passion melted into stolen heat in the dark she stands and walks away a fresh scar between us as rain lashed the canvas we dragged you from the tower’s filth your ruined hands reached for her pity stopped you cold then the choice you made swallowed every face the brand you chose burned black into my neck as their screams filled the void my body ripped open while they fell around me the dream we built gone with the rest
