Like a knight in shining armor

I have clad myself away

The shield that cloaks my heart

Blocks both pain and light of day



A fortress to defend

Walls that reach up high

Watching from my towers

As the world just passes by



Far too many times

Have love’s arrows sought their goal

To burn in me compassion

Then leave me; a barren soul



For of myself I give

Willingly and free

Never asking in return

The things I need for me



Thus my life is drained

As myself I forsake

To win the hearts and love

That, in the end, I do not take



But in this world of twisting roads

Are relationships awry

And to find something like true love

Is a daunting task to try



Things have become so complicated

With the search for inner being

We forget to listen to our hearts

And overlook the things worth seeing



The trials people face each day

The “issues” in their mind

Blind them from the good things

Waiting for them to find



In their search for someone perfect

People toss aside

Not knowing that the ones they find

Hold magic deep inside



And so all this has brought me here

To the fortress surrounding me

Leaving me to wonder

About the things that could be



But, I guess I’ll never know

If I don’t venture from these halls

Of the lonely one who waits

Hiding away in her castle walls
