Pierced the Armor, but Missed the Heart


Seeking riches
So terribly worn
Far from the kingdom
Where allegiance is sworn

Passing in silence
Wearily draw near
Revealing secrets
Forbidden to hear

Eyes of an angel
Hardened like steel
Longing of heart
Hoping to conceal

Many times victor
Over the years
Covering sadness
Hiding tears

Forgetting the moment
Shrouded in mist
Two souls reached out
Unable to resist

Soft lips touch
Beautiful caress
Taste of heaven
Never to confess

Sadness returns
Turning to depart
Having pierced the amour
But missing her heart

Falling to my knees
Grasping for breath
A heart has been pierced
Wounded til death
