<p><em>Hope and light... I have neither...</em></p><p><strong>Bane</strong></p><p>My life revolved around death they told me I had no soul.</p><p>Until I met her my Grace.</p><p>She brought a secret sunshine to my life until she didn't. She left with my brother.</p><p>Then I met her daughter and she desperately needed the skills I've honed over the years.</p><p>In the end it didn't matter all I knew was that I had to protect Grace's child.</p><p>I did what I had to do. I did it for my Grace my own saving light.</p><p>My life might be over but I'll make sure she will survive.</p><p>In my dying hour I was saved by an unexpected source.</p><p>A man who'd once been part of my dark world offered me a do over.</p><p>I took it and vowed to become a better man.</p><p>I then met Sarah.</p><p>Her warmth and friendship held me up on the darkest days of my recovery.</p><p>For the first time I felt alive... for the first time I actually <em>felt.</em></p><p>Now Grace's child Cricket needs me again.
