As Long As They Both Breathe Poem by Guarded Heart

Sides come together in a fury of battle cries

On one side, she sits, and forgives
The evils that have been done to her
She’s on her knees
And hopelessly prays
She then stands
And though forbidden to leave
She picks up her sword
She mounts her horse
Only she knows the real reason they fight
She has the gift and curse of foresight
And so she will end it tonight, or give up her life

He ruthlessly fights on the other side
And unlike her, he doesn’t know why
He simply fights to quench his lust, and because they tell him
In his heart and mind, bloodlust consumes him
He kills because it’s all he knows
And from the corner of his eye, he sees her
High on her black stallion, she rides by
He is mesmerized, turns his horse and follows
Through the trees, across the creek
And she turned to face him

Surprised by what she say, who is he
A different kind of man, her supposed enemy
But why was he here know
Staring back at her, she met his intense black eyes
He met hers back, and she knew
She felt it in his energy
He was meant to be at her side

Stunned by her as she turned
Her aura shinning brightly
Green eyes mesmerizing
He wasn’t sure why he followed her
She didn’t seem like a hostile enemy
He was supposed to be there
And when he met her eyes, he felt her need

And he took her among the trees
And he loved her passionately
And for a few moments they were free

Now they fight together
To unite both sides
They’ll always be fighting for victory
But for each other they will be living
And at the end they shall both succeed
As long as they both continue to breathe
