Fergus

Fierce warrior,
defender of the lonely prince,
your heart is torn in two.
You are humbled,
brought low by mistakes that have
stolen your joy away.
You see your reflection
in the river and see
a monster,
a careless fool
who gave away lives like chafe
on the wind.
But I see you for truth,
a soul bound by honor,
proud and brave.
One reckless night
has caused you a lifetime of pain.
I want to be your confessor,
your solace in the storm.
I long to heal the rend
that has set you on this path
of anger and regret.
I am for you,
to be your friend and your lover,
your mate,
and your forgiver.
To help you believe in
yourself once again.
