My Enemy

You have the name of my enemy,

yet that is the name that lingers on my lips

You have the strength of a blood thirsty barbarian,

yet you are as gentle as a river

You are a fighter,

yet you know peace

You are the embodiment of anger,

yet you show kindness

You are scarred by battle,

and broken inside

You wear the well-known marks of a warrior,

yet you seem to be lost

You have your fears,

but you only show courage

A creature of wonder

A warrior of strength

My enemy.
