The Boy Who Saved Her

She felt death whisper into her ear,

Filling the girl with immense fear.

But then a boy picked her back up,

And showed her the light of her shining life cup.

He then had to travel back onto his own path,

But he promised never to be far when she needed help with math.

Now she has found others, and she still loves the boy who saved her,

But he only sees the destruction the others have done, she no longer sees things how they once were.

The boy has helped, and tried to bring her back on her feet,

She only is brought down again, and walking back on deaths only street.

The boy has never given up on saving her,

He loves her too much.

But how long can this boy last?

He too is suffering from the battles of his past.

He sees no future, no light on the road ahead,

How can he save her if he can't even fall asleep in his bed?

How can he be the hero she needed him to be,

If his shouts are drowned by the ever roaring seas.
