Shadows shift and there you are

Glory incarnate like some virgin angel

sent to bless me and instead trapped

within the arms of the beast I've become

Shadows shift and here we are

Beauty and Hatred melded in darkness

as if one can complement the other

as if one cannot destroy

Shadows shift and here I am

holding the tattered spirit I ripped from you

praying that you tamed me just enough

to keep from killing you

again
