Withdraw

If there is love in a lie
It is not a sin, surely?
You cannot fault me for protecting you.

A shield takes the hardest of blows
That a sword cannot match
Wielded by trembling hands

I was born of royal blood
A bloodline of golden thrones and silver foil
Broken by fate and welded by tears

And yet I can't withdraw your heart from mine.
