Yes, you came in with your arms of steel and saved me from my fate.

A savior preserved in the flesh of man,  surreal in the beauty that I encased you in.

For my devotion was to you like a migrant to a God, and I was fooled into love.

Blinded by your grace in saving me, by my own foolishness for you.

In my head, debts had to be repaid, so I laid down my world at your feet

And you stood there almighty, and let me grow so very weak in you.

My overbearing, passionate, unbreakable love was not from a woman to a man..

But from a woman to something that did not exist, too glorified.

I know that I was foolish, ever so naive, but you darling, are the one to blame.

You let me waste my life on a dream because it made you mighty.

As long as you were lifted above the world, you did not care who had to fall.

All this time, I thought you had saved me from my ever darkening road,

But now I know you simply lifted me from mine, and placed me on yours

In front of you to weather what you could not.

All this time, I thought I was the weak one, unable to be alone.

But my darling, it was you.

You arms of steel, ever my savior, somewhere melted into your eyes, and became a cell

In which you kept me for your own selfish needs.

No blame is spilled, no tears can be cried,

For the migrant people are set free when a God dies.
