Loneliness brought her there in her darkest hour
Spinning out of control in a world collapsing
From within lifetime ago dreams he magically appeared
Though lost and broken she wished he had not found her
He brought her in from the frigid cold
Shattered the bonds that restrained her soul
Vowing never to lie, nor secrets would they keep
Her desperation and need making him weep
He offered himself wholly and the healing began
Extracting painful memories, mending old wounds
Breathing life over her, his own strength into her
Promising forever to love, protect and keep her

Spectacular as always, although this seems to be a cut above. I’ve read it about a dozen times since you first posted it yesterday…
Not sure if Ducky’s right, and you just spun a really excellent Faerie yarn here, but the protagonist sounds to be an extraordinarily good dood – Faerie, or Thor, or not.
As always, keep up the exceptional work, and my hat’s off to you my friend.
