The Vow
I am life but i am death
I am truth but i am myth
I am seen but i am invisible
I am beaten but i am invincible
I am drenched but i am dry
I gave up but i did try
I lose and i win
I burn but i have flawless skin
I fell when i rose up high
I reached out below the sky
I am you and i am i
You are me i wonder why
Under the blankets my realm benights
But inside my chest my heart ignites
I drown but i don't sink
I come up with froth near the brink
Unleash my wrath on the sand
Slither in pain crushed under your hand
I cry but you can't hear
Crying with anguish I can't bear
We were two now we are one
You are gone once you are done
I still lay i fathom how
It was your job
But it was my vow.
