An Oath Sworn in Sorrow

Draw your sword
 Look me in the eyes
 We were born for this moment
 But the memories cloud my mind
 Of all that we have done
 I swore I would protect you
 But what have you become?
 From the moment our hearts began beating
 This gap would be filled
 Preordained assassination of the crippled mind
 Lost in an ancient sea of time
 As whirlwinds dance on paths once trod
 By beings vast, alone we stood
 And waited for it all to end
 Could you not see?
 You were always there by my side
 The comfort of my very being
 The monster you are has me blind
 I want to let you walk away but I boil inside
 For your faults you shall fall
 Reluctant beating slows you to a crawl
 The whistling sound of steel
 Sliding against your dry flesh
 Proved to be my final and ultimate test
 As the blade retracts so too do my tears fall
 Heavily, I sob
