My heart is here,
A sacred offering,
If you dare,
To take it.

If you do,
Our souls entwined,
A covalent bond,
For all eternity.

A wrestling match,
Of love and hate,
Greedy and giving,
All at once.

Wretched fate,
Unites us,
But has the power,
To untie us.

The hold of ire,
Grasping our jugulars,
An iron fist,
Made of gold.

Gilded cages cannot hold me,
Breaking free,
Is my destiny,
It matters not who holds the key.

For I shall be free,
No matter the cost,
A monster of the night,
A swan at the dawn.
