You were my source of strength,
shield-warrior princess
That came to me in a storm;
You took me into your arms and made me warm

How, through the loss
I struggle on, each day more
Living in phantom memories,
holding half-open that door

wishing and expectant
for it all to be a dream,
that we could mend our broken ways and gather up from the seams

A perfect reflection
built upon honesty and truth,
To sever naivety
and the innocence of youth…
