Bleeding Vows

By Enigma Rose (crowfly)

You promised me stars and moon
When I was little more that a child
You told me that we'd get there soon
In tones coaxing and mild

Even then I knew your words were lies
But I just said "Tell me more!"
I'm not the kind of girl who cries
When she walks out true love's door

No, I never felt even slight remorse
When my talents caught on fire
I never faltered on our course
I just sang "Take me higher!"

But it wasn't long before the song
Was betrayed into a flood
A torrent that began with tears
And ended up in blood

So now I come to you at night
And stand exalting as you shake
You see I'm here to set things right
And leave my weakness in my wake

So listen closely to my song
Which I bleed with every breath
I now stand here proud and strong
And will be by your side 'til death.
