Turmoil's Game

Turmoil eats away at her
insides like acid dripping on metal.
When will the strife stop?
Will it always be like this?
Life doesn't get easier,
it just seems to get worse.
Life's struggles will eventually wear
away the resolve, beating her
at the game.

Where is the white
knight to rescue the maiden fair?
Lost in his own battle of mind
and spirit. He fears she cannot satisfy
his needs, but yet wants to ride in on the
white horse to whisk her away.
He has won her heart,
just not her faith in man.

The dragon approaches and she has no one to
keep her from the flames of fear.
Mist shrouds her now, no end and no beginning.
Just loneliness and fear her only companions.
