Redemption

The human heart is weak
Weak, from emotions controlling the mind

I am his sheath,
His mental guardian

I am to protect his mind,
From going insane;
From devouring itself, because of the assassin he once was

How?
I have hated him,
So much I had even attempted to murder him

Murder? How..?

Revenge, was all I desired for a long time
My confused soul,
My discreet mind,
Had almost driven me into killing him

But... a sheath is a defender, not an assassin, nor a murderer

Yet I have fallen in love with him
My feelings for him have changed over the last few months
Just as he has transformed from an assasin,
To a simple husband

We are similar to the turning seasons
We have learned what the test of time can do to one's soul

I must save him
I can't make the mistake I once made before

I need to hold him close to my heart
And never let go

He helped me break out of my delirium
I will always cherish him for that

But what have I done for him?

My worried heart is assured by his warm words,
Telling me he will always be my protection

How can I repay him?

He is my salvation, my saviour,
I was to be his sheath, but now he has been my sheath.
