Defender

Note: This is a companion to How Can You Say, an earlier poem I wrote. This one is
Cecil talking to Kain, the previous Kain to Cecil. Hope you enjoy!

I have been named the defender of the weak.
But I can defend the strong, as well.
You're not weak, only weary,
And I will defend you if I can.
You've been hurt, wounded in a way no spell can heal-
Magically caused, but healed only by time;
Time and friendship. Let us heal you.
Stop shutting everything out, stop holding everything in.
Let me sit here by your side
And let yourself be comforted.
Rest your head on my shoulder and cry.
And I will protect you, my friend.
I promise.
