BLACK SWAN

You're the only one. Always were. Even before I knew there was such a thing, you were the only one. The one I'd die for. Kill for. For you, I'd level cities, turn dragons to ashes. I'd shed the wolf and offer myself as a lamb to the gods in your place. Because you're the only one. The one who can make me want to retract all claws, lose the fangs. Trade hungers. Give new meaning to old, empty words. Soothe untold aches. I'd walk through fire by your side. Happily step into the unknown night. As long as we're holding hands. Because you're the only one. Always were. That's why I had to run. As if unseeing, unfeeling, unwanting were possible. But all roads led right back to you. Or maybe that was just me accepting the inevitable. Wanting it. More than ever. Because I've always known you'd be the only one. My black swan.
