a little love to ease the pain

Summary: Perhaps you'll save her, be her knight in shining armor. But who are you kidding? You're still just a kid. Cato/Clove

---

"She's better off without you"

but you know that.

it's so obvious

she is the sun, bright and warm

and you are the moon, dim and cold

but she's your everything

if she leaves,

you die

but she won't survive much longer, either

in your icy grip

but until then, you'll fight.

perhaps you'll save her

be her knight in shining armor

but who are you kidding?

you're still just a kid

but soon,

you'll have to trade in your wooden sword

for a real one.

she might look powerful

so sharp, so deadly, so beautiful

(like her blade)

but she still is just a kid

so she can't leave

because you can protect her

(from everything but yourself)

since you're big and tough and fierce

(and afraid)

but in the end

you're just a just a kid playing pretend

with your wooden sword.
