and far behind the mist and darkness
finally you appeared
you as you, just you
like a painting that i could never finish
i never knew the warrior, the courageous victor
a triumphant heroine staggering home
your solemn image
you as you, just you
i've been watching though honest intentions
once white now stained of brewed tea
phantom hopes of a future existence
where i'm your hero
you as you, just you
revived from a battle ground of putative suitors
standing alone without the guard of my shield
i'm vulnerable now without you here
the fight you carry
you as you, only you
