Temporary Forever

a forest so dark and lonely

I found myself lost
in a forest so dark and lonely

I saw him lying there
a boy so wounded and bloody

I should have known it was a trap
his face a thing of beauty

I convinced myself it was love
a game so twisted and deadly

I didn't think I could do it
my hands so weak and shaky

I slayed the great beast
with a cut so deep and steady

I swore never to return
to a forest so dark and lonely
