Revolution

I cared deeply for you once,
but after that day, no more.
By what right's injustice done,
to make of you a common whore?

For what virtue had you allowed,
that most base of corruption?
I could not lend a helping hand,
nor assist in your destruction.

They took from you the thing most dear,
which raised your voice above the din.
Smuggled away in the name of love,
torn to bits and rewritten in sin.

Make no mistake you were to blame,
if you'd stood up he would have lost.
Instead you laid still in fear,
and left me to calculate the cost.

Yes, you were still so young,
but you knew wrong from right.
I was helpless as I watched,
your change for worse overnight.

You could not accept help from others,
the pure of heart pushed away.
Their good intentions villified,
so you'd exist, corrupt, another day.

You are no visage of perfection,
yet perhaps I am too quick to blame.
I myself am far from what I once was,
and to innocence I make no claim.

This must end, you and I both know,
you must strain the bonds until they break.
We must help each other out of this hole,
there is much more than us at stake.

Only once we escape this prison,
can our wounds begin to heal.
Finally free of their whip and chain,
into the cold dark night we steal.

As you sleep and I look on from above,
I feel the love I thought had forever gone.
When you awaken we both will share,
the hope of this free day's dawn.

Our future is still uncertain,
yet if we hold to our values steadfast,
I believe there is hope for us still --
We will be reunited in whole at last.
