I Remain
How crass you stand before me withNo blood to fuel your fameHow dare you wield such flippancyWithout requisite shameYour very existence becomes my sacred mission's baneYou bow to kiss my handAnd I ignore ignited flame
How I'm moved to meet youUntouched I do remain
To some it seems foreign why IWould steely forge aheadThis land entrusted to meKnows not of hallowed secrets
I'll keep it to myselfWhile your brave eyes swim in my headYour charm can not distract meFrom the path I'm born to tread
How I'm thrilled to know youUnaffected I remainHow I've learned to like youUndeterred I do remain
Less daunting as teamYou unlikely king by my sideAnd me so much better for trusting you
My hand over your heartWhile you keep hindrances at bayColor me surprised by how our union saves the day
How I've grown to need youAs my soldier need fadesHow I love to love youAnd how I, how I remain
I remain...
