Jace and what Valentine taught him about love.


Did you ever hear of him?

Him, who was given a bird

Him, who grew to love that bird

Him, who then had to watch the bird be killed

Him, who then was told 

That he had to tame the bird and not love it?


From that day on

He made sure not to give his heart away

Because he thought he knew the price of love

That bird and his master had taught him a lesson

That love was a weapon which could destroy more than any blade


And he believed it. He believed all of it.

That's how he came about

To give his body away and never his heart

Because he was taught

That to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.
