Marked By My Best Friend's Dad
But I swear before these walls, before the eyes of our kind,
And before the Goddess who binds us unseen,
I will guard you, not because I command it,
But because I choose it.
I will protect you, not for duty,
But because the world itself feels hollow without your presence.
When fear comes, when shadows press,
When past sins claw at your peace…
Know this, Iris:
My strength, my resolve, my very soul,
Will stand between you and the storm.
I cannot undo the past,
Nor choose the will of others,
But I can stand here, with every breath,
And make my allegiance to you absolute.
