In your eyes I found myself home.
You stoked the fire, relit my strength.
Soul reborn by the warmth, brandished on my arm a new gauntlet of courage.

Mere seconds later I was pummeled into the throes of war, fighting self fray.
You stood behind me, giving me armour forged from pain and love.

Without you, I'd be lain weak in loss.
Yet I rise from the darkness...
Heart replenished and wearing hope.
