He Left

I never asked him to slay the beast
that lay waiting outside the walls;
waiting to bring me down.
I never asked to be rescued;
taken out of the darkness.

He did all these things,
saved me from the beast
and from the dark.

I offered the best in return;
the only thing I ever saw fit.
my love, my heart, me.

my hero, my warrior,
my knight in shining armor;
he left.

I am broken, abandoned, confused.
After all he did, after what
we both gave...
he left.
taking with him, hopes dreams,
our future...

Still longing for the fairytale ending.
