A white cloak for the kings guard
The men without hearts
A shining armor for his knights
The dark guards of spite
But any wore it like a burden
And the white enhanced his eyes
Dark and black they seemed,
But burning
Watching all my tears and cries
Covered in white
What pain give the hands
Of a knightly dressed lord
With no strength to defend
Against any strike and word
But he refused any order
And he whispered in my ear
Strange advice he gave,
But careful
Perceiving all my pain and fear
Covered in white
What ugliness reveals
A fair and pretty guise
Of a blackness deep sealed
Well hidden by blue eyes
But within my weakest hours
He appeared beside my side
Burned and broken,
But protecting
Lying in my lap that night
Covering me in white

Perceiving all my pain and fear

Of a blackness deep sealed
Well hidden by blue eyes
But within my weakest hours
He appeared beside my side
Burned and broken,
But protecting
Lying in my lap that night
Covering me in white
To the controversial, but fascinating relationship of Sansa Stark and the Hound. (Game of Thrones/ SoIaF)
