Tower on the Knoll

She was just a child. But why couldn't she smile?

Her parents, were they loving? No, no more…

She read of a poem. She wished it was true.

Rima Mashiro. Do not fret, do not frown.

He is coming; he is your 'Sir Knight', to save his lovely 'Dear Maiden'.

The poem, she knows. Maybe not off by heart. But it is still there, in the corner of her mind…

-Hear me, hear me

Hear the fearful cries!

-They fight, they fight

Why oh why?

-Please come down from the clouds

Dear Father, Dear Mother

-My life's a deserted place

Secluded from true love

-How did Sir Knight get here?

Through your fights with words

-I'm the young Maiden in the corner

Huddled into a ball

-Why do you scar her?

With many frightening words

-Her innocence, gone

She knows of the real world

-Her beauty, still there

Her mind, in pieces

-Will you, Sir Knight

Pick up the broken pieces?

-Will you, Dear Maiden

Even let him in?

-Trapped in the tower

Made by her own hands

-Will you call her down?

Sir Knight,

-Or will you break the walls,

Sir Knight?

-What ever the case

No matter the consequence

-Will you still help her…?

When all else fails?

-Oh Sir Knight…

And oh Dear Maiden…

-Whatever has happened to your once simple lives?

"Oh, Sir Knight, will you come soon?"

Authors Note: This is a story created from the complex place called my 'mind'. It was supposed to express my dislike of people fighting tremendously over no exact reason. Turns out to be the problems on Rima's life, before she met Nagihiko.

I hope this can change someone's life… But thank you for reading this fanfiction and please review to tell me your thoughts on this.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara nor do I own this website. I only own the poem in this story, dubbed 'Tower on the Knoll' by myself. If you would like to use the plot or the poem, please PM me. Thank you for reading this...un-needed paragraph.
