A pledge to myself that love
was a place of pain,
where fervent lips became parched by time
into a garden of withered petals,
pervaded what I had become.
Like a piece of clay I was moulded
to be the perfect partner, chosen for convenience.
Like a fresh spring day, he was the scent of my forever
and I clung in faith that he would eternally be my protector.
Never again would I commit to a life
where shadows were the only light of hope.
And then there was you,
a star in my midnight sky,
a tender breeze whispering across my soul,
entwining your vine of devotion around my heart.
Like a spider, I was your fly,
caught in your web of faith
and all my devout oaths have dissolved
into a committment I thought was a mere fantasy.

This is very delicate and sweet indeed. Love the way you took my write and made it a beautiful title with a beautiful theme. The middle part spoke so much to me, describes perfectly what happened with Steven and I, tried to convince myself I didn't love him and he did that with me, but then we just fell together and love is beauty now.
