The Past That Haunts Me (No Regrets?) Poem by Tessa Richardson

Forever in your arms I'll be
Safely under lock and key
With you I hide the beast in me
I keep it where only you can see.

Why the hell should I run?
When hiding it is much more fun!
My love, you're the only one
Who knows of my secret weapon.

Please don't hurt me
If you love me,
my innocence halo
is still above me!

With silver and steel
That I'd weilded
One wrong deal
held me feilded.

Slashing left, dodging right,
These times when the light
was not so bright.
I'd hid beneath thoughtless fears
by hurting others,
and loving their tears.

Fear not, my love,
I'm not a sadist,
it's times like those
I had become my maddest.

They had hurt my closest friend,
So being me, I brought near their end
Every day I live to regret
What I did, I'll never forget.
