Away I go

A Poem by Threader

Once, I promised you
To be by your side
To be with you always
A place where you can hide

Once, I promised you
That I shall be your shield
That I will protect you
That I will never yield

I should've known
You never needed me
I'm not your hero
I could never be.

So now, I break my vow
I break my word
I break my soul
And I break my world

And now, I step forward
With nothing in hand
So I scour away
In this desolate land

To find somewhere what I lost
To regain what I threw
To build up again
A heart stronger and true

The road is green and long
Winding like serpents do
But I must forge on
And cross the oceans blue
