Heartless
Oh, heartless one
In that space,
A trace of love
Embraced.
Sparking a glow
Of love to grow
In a demon-held heart
A fractured part
Of self and soul.
Donning sparrow's wings
The void within sings
The urge to guard,
Protect.
Saving others from the pain
Of the bombs that rain,
Unchecked,
Upon the towns below.
Through the years
With firey tears
Waiting,
Ever waiting
For the one.
A contract made --
A promise laid --
Sweetly upon attentive ears.
Clear eyes see truly
Time's turning around.
A young soul --
A wise heart --
Beauty unknowing --
Clad in a guise of years.
Mastering her fears.
Blinking back her tears.
Reaching outward, now --
Honoring her vow --
Restoring your enkindled heart,
Howl.
