A good man is not weak,
rather he has harnessed the beast
within, holding the demon
in check until the time
when it must be unleashed.
Ancient power, the storm
contained and focused,
the dark seed of Death
and a capacity for evil
set free only in dire need
to protect the good,
those he loves more than self,
more than his own soul.
He uses the dark force within
to protect the light without
which he cannot live.

I swore to you I would fight for you, even if I have to fight your demons. Those hurt even more but you deserve to have someone fight for you.
