Lion-Hearted Girl

Catherine Van Haute

"The Call" - Catherine Van Haute

Lion-hearted girl, what scars do you bear?

This malicious battle, were you not told to beware?


Your crown has melted

Your strength is no longer belted


Tears stream down your pathetic face

How foolish, to think you could win this race


Your flowers have been left to wither

This cold pain has left you to shiver


Oh so valiantly you fought

But your joy was left to rot


Reckless ambition can drive you mad

But yours has left your heart sad


Dear heart, it is time for you to rest

Your noble battle has left you messed


Tomorrow will be a gentle start

Please, rest your ruined heart


Lion-hearted girl, your bravery is unmatched

But there is a hole in your heart that needs to be patched
