Grieving Lady Knight

They brought him forward

But she didn't step up

They blessed his body

But she stayed silent

They buried him

But she stayed in her shell

They placed a stone for him

But she remained as stone

The mourners grieved

But she stayed strong

They laid flowers

But she laid her sisterly love

Stars sparkled

But she dulled

The sun shone

But she paled

Life thrived

But she failed

They moved on

But she stayed put

They shared jokes

While she shared grief

They knew her pain

But she knew none

They knew life

She knew death

They walked

She ran

They swam

She drowned

They killed

She healed

They knew her

She knew them

They were her friends

She was their friend

She was his sister

He was her brother

She knew he was at peace

He knew she was still in sorrow

She knew he still was a prideful mage

He knew she was still a grieving lady knight
