monsters and demons perpetually on his back.
the past buries him anew every night.
nightmares possess him.

darkness enslaves him.

yet even when the mightiest
and most treacherous of foes batter him,

even when his soul is pierced endlessly
by deadly memories from the past,

even when he knows that he walks
the walk of the forever doomed…

a little light shines defiantly
in the long forgotten part of his heart.
never surrendering belief.

his destiny.

that one day…

his true love will unchain him.

let him roar past all the regrets.

finally uniting.

one love.

you.
