In the shadow of a bitter vow,
Where vengeance stirs and cold winds blow,
I sought revenge with furrowed brow,
A fire to burn, a heart to show.
The past, a wound that festered deep,
Became a fuel for harsh intent,
But in the night, where secrets sleep,
Love's power through my anger lent.
For in the depths of spiteful schemes,
Where shadows twist and passions seethe,
Love's tender light, in fragile beams,
Pierced through my heart, a golden sheath.
It whispered soft against my rage,
A melody both sweet and strong,
Turning wrath from a fiery cage
To a song of forgiveness long.
Each memory, a gentle touch,
A kiss that healed, a glance so kind,
Melted the ice that had been such,
And love's embrace began to bind.
The urge for payback slowly waned,
Replaced by something deep and pure,
For in your eyes, where love remained,
I found a path to something more secure.
Now revenge is but a distant mist,
A shadow of a darker day,
For love's embrace, too deep to resist,
Has led me to a gentler way.
Though anger burned with fierce intent,
Love's overwhelming, soft decree
Transformed the venom I had spent
Into a chance for you and me.
