What they see...
The warrior strong...
The galant knight..
But the battle inside...
Hid from view..
The demons dance...
The pain intense...
But hope...
What of faith...
The warrior snaps...
Tea pot shatters. .
The pieces spread...
The voices cheer...
The pretenders dance...
He has fell again...
They point...
They taunt...
Kick the pieces about. .
He screams...
But cheers drown it out....
He slumps...
For a moment....
Then the soft voice...
The kind hand...
She brushes past..
Then oh so slowly....
The pieces gathered...
And deep within...
His heart begins again...
To beat strong....
The heart of the warrior...
But the strength is her's....
Her courage tenfold...
For when he is weak...
No one sees...
She is strong...
Her gift...
That when given...
Is all..
Not ever in....
Pieces....
