Valerie
With blackened palms I rise from the ashes as the last one standing.
The only one left on this forsaken planet who understands what its like to live in the arms of the one I love.
With bleeding hands I pry you away from the demons of the world.
All the things on this earth than can harm you.
With bloodshot eyes, I look into yours as I collapse into your lap.
I fought so hard to have you and I grow weary from the battle.
With blood drenched ears which have heard the lies of the world, I listen to the sound of your voice.
I hear your words and I smile.
As my heart is torn from my chest, I realize I still stand, fighting the war for you.
Bleeding from head to toe, I wage war against all who will hurt you.
I stare into your eyes as my heart fails to beat just one last time.
With tired feet, I stand. And with blooded arms, I wrap myself around you.
As I walk away, all my wounds are healed.
As the last man standing, you give me your heart.
You wash my hands and you let me rest on you.
When I wake from my slumber, you're still by my side.
Fighting a battle for me.
I wake and I rise, and I pick up my sword.
Fighting for us side by side
