"You’re mine now. While you walk the Earth you belong to me. Nothing can hurt you." I heard a touch of humor in his voice. "It’s pretty impossible to hurt what Death protects."

"I'm not a man so I do not have a heart that loves as a human does. I'm an immortal god that dwells with supreme power because I hold the keys to Death. But you are my existence. I am yours."

"You tempt me. I can’t be tempted. I’m not made to be tempted."

Leif's frown eased and he slid his finger under my chin and gently caressed my jaw line with the pad of his thumb.

"Pagan, will you do me the honor of being my date for Homecoming Dance ? The prospect of not being able to hold you in my arms all night is heartbreaking."

Mirand sighed from across the table.

"Okay, that was beautiful. Why didn't you ask me like that ?" she asked Wyatt.

Wyatt shot Leif an annoyed frown.

"Thanks, buddy. Next time you decide to break out your romantic side, could you do it alone ?"

"The emptiness where I used pain to fill the hole no longer controls me, no longer calls me because of you."

“You want what you can’t have.

I see it in your eyes.

The pain that fills your nights is because of my pack of lies.

I’ve opened up the door for you to walk away.

There’s a better path for you even though I want you to stay.

I’ve broken the rules, I’ve veered from the path but when I met you I knew to save you was worth the wrath.

Let me leave now before it’s too late.

Let me leave now before you know what I am and your love becomes hate.

Walk away from me before I break down and take you with me.

You can’t go where I’m going you can’t walk through my Hell.

Walk away from me before I break down and take you with me.

My path is meant for only me.

There is no way to take you too.

I’ve given you life when it was in my hands to give you death.

Walk away from me.

I watch the life I know you will lead without me here.

It’s what you deserve it is where you belong it is everything I want but everything I fear.

Once I met you I knew I had to save you but you saved me.

Now I’m turning away and letting you run free.

Not one moment will I forget there is a fire inside me that you lit with your touch.

Hurting you wasn’t the plan but it must happen by my hand.

Walk away from me before I break down and take you with me.

You can’t go where I’m going you can’t walk through my Hell.

Walk away from me before I break down and take you with me.

My path is meant for only me.

There is no way to take you too.

I’ve given you life when it was in my hands to give you death.

Walk away from me.”

“Um, I'm going shopping for a dress for the Homecoming Dance with Miranda, Wyatt and Leif."

Dank chuckled."So, Leif's wearing a dress?”

“You weren’t meant for the ice, you weren’t made for the pain.

The world that lives inside of me was not the world you were meant to contain.

You were meant for castles and living in the sun. The cold running through me should have made you run.

Yet you stay. Holding onto me, yet you stay, reachingout a hand that I push away. The cold is not meant for you yet you stay, you stay, you stay. When I know it’s not right for you.

The ice fills my veins and I can’t feel the pain, yet you’re there like the heat that sends me screaming in fear.

I can’t feel the warmth I need to feel the ice. I want to hold it all in and numb it till I can’t feel the knife.

Your heat threatens to melt it all and I know I can’t bear the pain if the ice melts away.

So I push you away and I scream out your name and I know I can’t need you yet you give anyway and I run wishing you would run too.

Yet you stay. Holding onto me yet you stay reaching out a hand that I push away. The cold is not meant for you yet you stay, you stay, you stay. When I know it’s not right for you.

The blackness is my shield. I pull it closer still.

You’re the light that I hide from, the light that I hate.

You’re the light to this darkness and I can’t let you stay.

I need the dark around me like I need the ice in my veins.

The cold is my healer. The cold is my safe place. Youaren’t welcome with your heat you don’t belong beside me.

I hate you yet I love, I don’t want you yet I need you.

The dark will always be my cloak and you are the threat to unveil my pain, so leave. Leave and erase the memories.

I need to face the life that’s meant for me. Don’t stay and ruin all my plans.

You can’t have my soul I’m not a man.

The empty vessel I dwell in is not meant to feel the heat you bring. I push you away and I push you away.

Yet you stay.”
