When you said that the thunder and lightning would come in and  crash through everything that I ever built everything that we ever built for us
I never thought that It would come down in bolts that would make Zeus Tremble and I never thought that the raindrops would fall like lashes on a slaves back
I never saw this coming I never thought that A kingdom  built so strong on a foundation of love and trust could come crashing down
I never for saw that you would be the one to start its fall.
I never thought that a needle in your arm would be enough to shatter walls of the strongest titanium like glass.
I never thought that on a night like this where the flood gates are tested and night sky is set ablaze you'd be more concerned with putting something other then my love in you.
We had a life. A dream. A once upon a time.
You walked away the minute you chased something other then me.
And no matter how mythical the dragon that shall never be caught I can't forgive you.
How did we wind up back here in this fairytale land of fantasy?
When did we fall down a rabbit hole?
When did those rabbits holes start becoming normal marks on your arms.
I can't tell if it's a step up or down from the marks of when you tried to leave me for good.
Those tiger stripes that leave your arms looking much like an African warrior welted from years of hard fighting and labor
You see you seemed to be winning that war so why go and wave the flag?
It's been a year since you were first in my bed, home, where you belong.
Yet here we are.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of those scars up your arms
Maybe that's why you shot up
To forget what else has happened to you're precious skin.
This world killed you and brought you to me.
The devil the undertaker. A misfit toy.
I re-stringed you. Gave you life and love and you still choose this?
I'll always love you.
For who you are before, after and during both sets of scars. But don't ask me to watch you walk through hell and not scream for mercy when you are burned by the flames.
