This is why...

She took me by the arms that clear starry night.
Held me close as she made my world bright,
echoing a prayer that made me feel alright.

Love her, I did, who stood patiently by my side,
on that cold day when I was stripped of my pride.
Vexed I was and a slave to tears that hadn't dried.
Every night since then I laid in your arms and cried.
So long it took for those voices to go back and hide.

My dear, I love you, as much, as you love me.
Even those dark voices, that laugh with glee,
they won't harm you, I solemnly promise thee.

One day, I'll make you smile. I give you my word.
One day, I'll make you proud. I give you my word.

Lonely

Lush green are yonder valleys but
only I can see them not.
Nimble creatures scurry about.
Everyone sees them but I do not.
Laughter echoes in those deep valleys.
Yearn, I do, for company that I have not.

Saved by the Valkyrie

In the endless abyss of darkness I stood waiting,
looking for a way to end my days, but
on yonder ledge stood the maiden on horseback.
Valkyrie, her hair as golden as sunshine.
Eternally framed in my mind's eye,
you showed me the path to the surface.
Out of the abyss I climb and stand in the light.
Unashamed you smile and say "Everything will be alright"
