Champion's Heart

To what can I compare you, my champion's heart

for now you have gone and torn me apart

No longer are you summer,

Your actions, they bite

Like frost on the window

From the cold of the night

Are you maybe a flower,

Petals perfectly built?

I'm only to find

that soon you will wilt

Maybe a butterfly

So drawn to the heat

But when I'm away

New comfort you seek

Can I compare you to a pond

Peaceful and still

Diving in I notice

How shallow's your fill

Autumn seems perfect

For now I can see

That auburn leaves  crumble

Once they fall from the tree

Melodies will cease

And rain will soon dry

Stories have endings

Wind's bound to die

What you were, I have realized, is not who you are

I used to compare you to the proudest of stars

Burning forever, seen from aways

Giving me hope on the loneliest days

Clouds now have rolled over, casting shadows like nets

Demanding I settle all of love's debts

So to what can I compare you?

To granules' of sand

I fought to hold on, but you slipped through my hand.
