Heartbreak Hex

The witch just watches pale moon grow
She waits for warlock to come home
The black cat rubs her leg below
She fears he won‘t return — alone

She brews a potion, night so deep
The shadows dance on cabin wall
Her gut says he is in too deep
And maybe won‘t come back at all

He went to war on foreign ground
To guard her shack, her kin, his queen
So war won‘t take the love he‘s found
And keep her safe — his only dream

He scans the skies, weaves ward and wall
A defense zone where no foe slips
His screen glows green — he gives his all
To shield her world from dark eclipse

He's far away — the distance aches
Her prayers are blades that guard his life
But peace is scars — the soul it takes
And even magic dies in strife

He gripped that crystal tight in hand
The luck she gave to help him stand
In darkest hour — he did not fall
Her hope — the one thing that stood tall

His crystal dimmed... his screen burned out...
The enemy strike erased his name...
He left no shield, no guard, no doubt...
Now who will keep away the flame?
