Tristesse D'Ares

He rides his horse of thunder, A pride like there's no other, He is my rain to my blazing fire, My weakness, my heart's desire. I tried to run but I can't; wanting to flee from his embrace, yet here I am finding myself in his firm grasp again. His eyes foretells the story his mouth couldn't utter, His outpouring tears succumbs me like no other. 'Don't go' you say. 'You're my strength and beloved, I couldn't live without thee by my side', I shook my tears away, pretending not to care. I asked "Thou does not weary my Ares? Thou does not ware?" So I say please stop I've had enough There isn't always a battle when it comes to love, You're not a knight but my lover So put down your sword and take off thy armor. 'No I can't' you cry in vain and shakily spiel, 'My life's a burden, a mess of chaos, feeling surreal; You're my peace haven; my nirvana in the desert, So please don't leave you're making my heart hurt". "I left my parents to go on battles and wars, but I stood with you, gave you my world and the stars, Things that made me live my life and gave me virtue, Is my sword,my shield, my armor and especially you." "People came, people left, I pretended to be deaf, Pretended not to hear their loud footsteps, But you my beloved, I couldn't pretend at all, Without you, because you are my greatest downfall". "The Almighty may take away my sight, my strength, my power, But I will stay battling chaos with my sword and you my lover, I can't live without fighting my dear and I even more in your absence, Sadly, I couldn't do it together with you and my seeking for vengeance." This knight right here in front of me, was before a homeless being, His heart belonged to battles and wars, no family was caring, His mind full of burdens and problems and groans of pain, He was a sad sad sad person till he met me, that day. But then his gaze came knocking at my door Something no one has ever done before I didn't see it coming nor am I prepared To set the sails to a sea I was unaware. And I ask please stop it's not enough For you to just give me one single drop, You're not in war, you're not a knight, When you're in my arms, give up the fight.
