Its too soon and I am in no way ready for any romance, but thoughts will come and that is what this about.

Only Heroes Need Apply

The vultures always seem to gather
When I am the most vulnerable
But don't mistake this broken heart as a desperate one

Because, although you cannot see the scars
I have fought battles you know nothing about
And rose again from the flames like a Phoenix
Again and again until I learned to be strong

Only a fool would try to scale these walls or swim this moat
In hopes of something futile
There is no nail-biting princess here
Only a ravaged shell of a lady
Who will accept nothing less than a hero

And if there are no heroes left to scale the wall or swim that moat
She will spend her life in solitude
Rather than have her heart ripped from her soul again
For some coward wrapped up in charm

For I had learned to love again and lost
And will never love that way again
Unless some tender Hercules appears among the mortals
