Cor LeonisxLionheart

by Dark Memory

Very short poem I wrote in a study. I wrote it in Squall's character, and this is dedicated to him.

"Just something short I wrote in my notebook during a free period."

Cor Leonis

Maybe I'm a Lion.

I hide it deep inside, but it's there. At my core. The limitless courage that men have only dreamed of. A well of strength that shines through when the love from my friends pierces through my dark armor of depression. The pain shields me, and at the same time kills me, but there is no substitute for feeling needed.

Intimidation means nothing to me. Threaten me or one of my own, and I will break you down fast. I'll defend those I deem worthy to the ends of the earth, or even to the brink of time. Until my body cannot move. And until long after, when I finally stop struggling.

A masochistic soul, but a lion at heart.

Yeah, maybe I'm a lion.
