I keep my wounds with me,
always,
coveted, and closely guarded,
I let no one take my wounds away,
nor will I let them heal,
I collect my wounds.
Banners in the wind, server as a warning to all.
I will show you the wounds you have given me,
everytime we meet.
I will always remind you of those wounds,
you gave me,
and I've kept,
and I now collect.
I will never let you forget....
When I think we may be growing close,
and when I feel your love,
My wounds will I present,
as a warrior presents his shield,
and wields his sword,
with intent to maim.
I will never let you forget,
that I can never be happy,
because of what you have done...
to me...
