If I stand before you, with nakedness in my eyes
would you turn away in fear,
or embrace the shadows
as they embrace me?
Would you go to war to save my soul?
If you come to close, if you dare touch me, I may make you bleed,
but I promise,
if you can survive the pain, your wounds will heal quickly
Your scars will make you mine
we shall find light within the darkness
We shall find our way home
II
Why is it that you give your soul so lightly
that I must fight for it ?
I will not promise to be your shining knight,
Rather I shall be there when you fight your own battles;
If I touch you will I feel my fingers burn ?
Or will you tamper your flame so that I may comfort you
when the shadows have grown too strong
Do not brand me
to prove your rights to my love
Heal my heart’s wounds instead and my whole being shall be yours
Not just my scars
Then,
in darkness or light,
our home shall will be in each other.
