After Glow

With Hope by my side, my reign is complete.

Until one uncovered truth shines a light on the throne of lies I’ve been sitting on for years.

A revelation with the power to test the bonds of brotherhood like never before.

My ruthless obsession to protect what’s mine burns hotter than ever.

Promises I’ve made to my brothers I burn to keep.

Vows made to my wife I swear to honor.

Through the web of tangled loyalties, one thing remains clear.

Hope is embedded in my soul. 

A love so rare I’ve spilled blood to protect it.

Together, we’ve built something beautiful, significant, and ours.

A bond that can not be destroyed. No matter how hard the ghosts from my past try.
