The Lion and the Lamb

Fun with formatting.

 

He

Knew that

His entire life was

Merely a pattern: a façade

A violent maelstrom of turbulent

And tumultuous affairs that he would have

Given anything to become apathetic to, but he also

Knew that she was counting on him to be the one who was

There for her, the one that she needed for love and support, for he

Was the lion while she was the lamb, and he had to use his blemished and

Terrible character to do be able to protect her innocence and perfection, even if

He would never be able to have that, because she was what his true purpose in life was.

So he schemed, plotted, and planned                                  And she sat, guiltless and faultless,

He destroyed, ruined, and ravaged                              Within her sanctuary, shielded from any

But mostly, he allowed himself to be                                   Harm that the world would ever be

More corrupted, tarnished, and tainted.                             Tempted to do upon her. She was

While he murdered his virtue, as he                            Never allowed to venture forth, to keep

Massacred his morality and even                            Her safe, he said, and she knew it was true  

As he assassinated his integrity,                             Because she was too naïve, and they would

He knew that he could not stop, for                         Too easily overcome and destroy her. So 

He did it for her: he did it for the good                       She remained pretty and perfect while 

Of everyone, because if he allowed her to                        He became damaged and defeated:

Be corrupted – if he let her be taken –                        He tried to save humanity, and she let

Then humanity never stood a chance.                     Him to destroy himself during the process.

wow apart from the nice formatting ,the thoughts were great and ,he would do everything to taint and blemish himself,she begged him for protection for she was so pure unblemished ,and he thought he could because if he corrupted her then its the end of humanity ,and she accepted that ,that by his doing all these evil vile things he is destroying himself while protecting humanity he is destroying his very soul and she let him,oh my God very thoughtful and deep ,and i just loved it,so full of wise thought ,lovely ,everything here is great,still i wonder..

An excellent commentary on the folly of putting your will in the hands of another will and watching the codependence consume the pillars of love and the foundations of great culture that came before the we, a testament built on the sacrificial bones of the eternal dead...excellent power and structure, should be a gallery work of art.
