[hometext] => an epic-ish love poem, many fantasy allusions.
[bodytext] => A silent war wages on around my broken mind Soldiers step on dying men, ignoring screaming cries Flying fists, stabbing words, not giving in to fear Again, I fight a timeless war and face another year So far removed; you dragged me in, and I was proud to fight Beside this warrior in black, this soldier of the night But never once I chanced to think that you could ever see The face behind the icy mask, the person that is me. A silent war wages on around my broken heart If ever thought I’d go this deep, I'd never want to start If rules were unbreakable, perhaps I still would trust And yet they stand; a barrier between the two of us Every sunrise of my life has dawned in crystal clear I never thought I'd have to make the choice I'm facing here To follow what I’ve always known, to stay beneath the light To step into a world of black, my soldier of the night. A silent war wages on around my broken soul To stand on unfamiliar ground, or step back from it all? To say I do not want this love is telling you a lie I want to hold you close, and give my shoulder when you cry Yet, the barrier still stands, and I don’t know what to do The only truth I’m sure of now is what I feel for you All the stories tell my heart that loving can be blind A deep breath, a big step, and for once I feel alive.
