He Will Follow Her
Scarlet arms folded
in a defensive posture
his walls are secure.

She utters kind words
and offers him acceptance
with no strings attached.

Cautious he remains
even as he lets her in.
He begins to trust.

Time passes swiftly
Old barriers soon vanish,
banished by a smile.

Arms now unfolded
wrapped around this strange young girl
Fate has intervened.

Blood soaks pristine white,
He swears he will not lose her
But words will not heal.

She whispers goodbye
Saving and breaking his heart
with love's final kiss.

Scarlet arms folded
Laid across his silent chest.
He will follow her.
