Mind Over Heart

Turning down the road,

The new familiar way.

We ready ourselves,

To charge into the fray.

-

Bloody, spent and weak,

We keep them at bay.

Barely keeping our feet,

Evil will not win this day.

-

Day by day,

Night by night.

Refusing to give in,

Always ready for a fight.

-

To save this world,

We sacrifice so much.

Giving up everything,

Fearing it will be a crutch.

-

Knowing love,

Only to send it away.

To keep them safe,

Is what we must say.

-

No one before,

Could ever make us see.

What life could've been,

What life was supposed to be.

-

They've stolen our hearts,

With their wit and their charm.

Making us want for the first time,

To remain arm in arm.

-

Keep them away we must,

From the battle that must be fought.

Keep them safe,

Though with grief we are overwrought.
