Rednaxela Tried Not To Feel

Rednaxela tried not to feel
but in his heart a love did burn.
What happened next did make him reel
His one true love then did return.

Details about that did not seem
to be correct in any way.
The dragon felt it was a dream
so fast asleep he hoped to stay.

He asked her why she did come back.
She answered but did not explain
why she thought true love he did lack.
Her words resounded with disdain.

A battle raged within his heart
that made him feel the war was lost.
Emotion ripped his mind apart.
He fought to win at any cost.

He did not want to wake from this
and find out that she was not there.
He thought his one love he would miss
but woke up and did no more care.

You wrote a wonderful tale here, in different rhyme, in metaphors, and I recognized... Your name too, yes. Whatever the background, whatever the pain, this is wonderful poetry and I applaud you for it. Welcome to PoetrySoup.
