My Shield Maiden

I see through all the smoke

of the battles I fight

Alone for my soul day and night

 

Memories haunting me

Deep in my mind, they won’t leave

Things that I didn’t want to express

Hidden away like a dirty rag

 

Broken my thinking without a clue

Misplaced fears left from old

Released fears put aside

 

Run Run Run my mind cried

Survival was its only concern

It shouted over the lessons learned

The safe haven was already earned

 

Your pain I feel inside

Like a knife has severed ties

I cannot undo what I did

I can only ask forgiveness once again

 

My last demon I have to fight

Alone or with you by my side

This demon lies to me without concern

 

My shield maiden is what I require

to finish this deed and be free

I ask you to fight with me

For the love we both desire

 

My heart is true, my love is deep

If you will have it, my soul to keep

 

Stand with me, I promise to never leave

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just a poem of a love gone terribly wrong due to haunting memories, lies and trauma. Will his love fight with him or move on after he left her?
