There was a time,

A time of sin,

A time oft spent-

skin to skin,

We lay as one,

But were apart,

A looming end,

An unfinished start,

A leash I held,

Against you strained,

A blade you lifted,

My heart attained,

This time was ours-

Though we lamented,

Ours hearts beating,

In chests we rented

Now we walk,

Our separate roads,

But shall pay forever,

Each-other’s tolls.
