The Warrior

The Warrior

A Poem by allieverwanted
"

"When you lose the ability to cry for what you've lost, you've lost the ability to love anything at all." ~The Warrior

"

You can’t test courage cautiously,

but, brave warrior,

I still always find myself worrying.

About you,

your safety

body and heart.

The warrior can take care of himself

he doesn’t need anyone,

yet I still do what I can for you;

always wishing I can do more

and care for you in a way you can’t do yourself.

But the warrior is always on the move,

always going,

always alone.

Something I will never understand

but it’s what you want.

With the little time we have, there’s never enough

it trickles away into oblivion.

And this is where the roles become reversed;

the warrior becomes optimistic

will express concern for my well being,

give me tokens of hope.

But the warrior cannot stay

I must let go.

Though I don’t have to say it

I’ll speak anyway;

brave, strong warrior

be careful.

Very nice, rhythmical and emotional, and with a much deeper meaning than I thought on the first glance.
