To protect his love he swore
Gave her the last kiss
Picked up his sword
Went to war
There, on the battle field
His wounds never healed
All he thought of
Was his love
Her pain after he dies.
He found a way
For her pain to allay
He wrote a note
Attached it to a dove
Sent his sign of peace and love
Far away
In his love's embrace.
There, on the battle field
He laid on sand
Happy because his duty was finished
His love untouched.
Unhurt.
Protected.
