Tempered Glass

I’ll hold your hand and your heart,
Don’t worry; I’m made of tempered glass,
Designed for strength and clarity,
Fire and ice transformed me.
I have a divine oath to fulfill,
Sovereign, sacred and still,
I’ve been forged through pain for a reason,
But I’m not above you, dear one.
I’m here to end the cycle,
Hurt people will no longer hurt people,
I’ve gone through my evolution,
So that I can turn my past into your protection!
If I crumble, I’ll shatter into fragments,
Before I leave any scar on your skin,
My scars were etched in light without trace,
As I hold the field with unyielding grace.
