Love and Redemption

I’ve been here once before
The similarities I dare not ignore
My shadow bag has come back for more.

The last time there was nothing I could do
But this time I have got a clue
I will help her see this thing through.

Our bond shall be forged in fire
But even as the smoke goes higher
So too does our shared desire

I love her more with each passing day
Close to her I hope to stay
And perhaps even to share a handfasting day.
