You put my back against the wall
I tell you all of this is forbidden
But you whisper "It doesn't matter
I will always fight for you"
You kissed away the shadow of doubt for just a moment
In a way that no human lips could compare

But I'm not a lover
I hardened my heart eons before
I am a fighter, a natural born killer
I'm nothing more than a shadow of a bloodied past
A shell with no soul has no place in your embrace

Demanding as always, you take what you please
As a prince you got everything you ever desired
As a man you never learned the meaning of "no"
It's too bad I was your teacher; my heart wasn't yours to take
It wasn't a request I thought you would ever make

Because I thought you knew that

I'm not a lover
I hardened my heart eons before
I am a fighter, a natural born killer
I'm nothing more than a shadow of a bloodied past
A shell with no soul has no place on a thrown

You tried everything to keep me around
But I'll always be free like the wind; I'll go where I please
Until the day your words ring true
"I will always fight for you"
Maybe then, I will have a soul once again
This is one of the few pieces I came up with that's not based on anyone, any event, or any song. Its rough and I hope to edit it but I would love feedback on it so I can improve it.

And yes I did put another poem I wrote into this one. It just fit well into what I was trying to say so I reused it.
