Dreamed He Would Keep Me Safe

He smouldered within my white flame,
where I dreamed he would keep me safe.
He filled me with a sense of shame
while held within his firm embrace.

He feared the loss of his jewel,
with doubt he failed to understand.
His obsession made him cruel;
he shamed my soul and chained my hands.

His smile hid his struggle to trust
while ghosts haunted his diseased heart.
Possessing my body with lust,
he thrust and tore my flesh apart.
