You have heard the darkened tale in fable hoary, Of the dragons & demons who pursue, But my dear, remember, to each story, There is not one side, but two. When you shout that I am cruel, How's a lady to respond? I take up my sword and dual. If the world would say about you, All the things they say of me, wouldn't you? You would eat your toxic words, If you could see things from my view. Your eyes will despise what you see if you do, It's wise to disguise any greed you accrue. When everyone's watching it's hard to be quick, The more tranquil you are, the sharper the prick. And you bare no ill will despite all you have done. Your bed has been made and your spindle is spun. My soul was the prey to a trap you had baited. For evil's not evil at birth — you create it. Out of fear of biased reputation, Bitter tears fell when I was betrayed. After years of contentious hesitation, Even family turned away. So I waited for a sign of restoration, So sincere that someone dear would soon bemoan. After year on year without an invitation, It was clear that I was truly all alone. And you claim you all suspected I was grievous from the start. But if judgmental hearts reflected, You could see the hate within you, Was the hate the changed my heart. I was left with the theft of the dream in my soul, Bereft of the cleft broken stream of my goal. In yonder top most tower, hidden in sleep, Lie the pieces of me through the years you have reaped. And then, to the darkness, I fully embraced. To the forces of evil, I am no disgrace. It fills me with power and calls me its own! True love conquers all, and this love's all I've known. Years go by, Years decay! But to my steadfast heart, a day! Love, within the darkness, lies. Love, from any other, dies. (Listen well…) Revenge is a war I have already won. The choice you make now doesn't matter — it’s done. Through shadow soaked embers, I'll watch you, my dear. Turn around, I'll be gone, Like breath, on a mirror.”
