I Remain

How crass you stand before me

With no blood to fuel your fame

How dare you weild such flippancy without requisite shame

Your very existence becomes my sacred mission's bane

You bow to kiss my hand and I ignore ignited flame

I moved to meet you

Untouched I do remain

To some it seems foreign

Why I would steely forge ahead

This land entrusted to me knows not of hallowed secrets

I'll keep it to myself

My own advicement in my head

Your charm can not distract me

From the path I'm born to tread

How I'm thrilled to know you

Affected, I remain(ed?)

How I've learned to like you

Undeterred I do remain

Less daunting as team?

You unlikely king by my side

And me, so much better for trusting you

My hand over your heart

While you keep hindrances at bay

Color me surprised by how our union saves the day

How I've grown to need you

As my soul I just faiths

How I love to know you

And how I remain

I remain

I remain

I remain

I remain

I remain

Oh
