Life goes on

All this while, he had been traveling on that road,
The road of carnage and destruction
Vengeance and revenge were his life
That became his vendetta of his life
The cold had cause his heart to be frozen.
Yet, the flames in heart were burning at the same time

He was feared by his enemies, having slain many
His shadow alone casts fear to the hearts of his enemies
This gave him the confidence and strength
The shadow was his home, his mind guard and keeper
The shadow reminded him of his troubled past
That seemed to be tainting his once bright life forever

He should had been satisfied, knowing that he had his revenge
His actions proved him wrong, knowing that he achieved nothing
Misery and disillusionment clouded his mind
The storm of his soul rages at his inability
His conscience rebel at his failure
Yet, he continue to mask his feelings over these and proceeded

During his tough, dark struggle with his own self
The wounded knight met a young maiden
Together, they fell in love, it tasted sweet
Not for long, the knight's past haunted him
This caused him to be cold to his beloved
It broke her heart into pieces and she cried

Further disappointed, the knight planned to end
His life, once and for all, he lost everything
He drew his sword and prepared to finish what he was
An elderly man quickly rushed and stopped his action
'' Do not die early, young man, life is so precious.''
Tears rolled down his cheeks, the knight was touched

No longer disheartened, the knight's heart was crying
''Young man, all this while you are a knight, serving none.''
The knight admitted that he was just a self-proclaimed knight
He wanted to be a knight but no one's take him in
''I am the king of the realm and I want you to be my knight.''
The ''knight'' could not believe his ears for a king chooses him

''In the past, you don't have a master, but now you have me.''
The knight swore his allegiance to the king,vow to serve him
''Your past is over now, my young knight and I will train you.''
For now, the knight discarded the old mask that he despised
''I grant you the use of my personal sword and it's all yours''
Given privilege to serve the Crown and honor to use His Majesty's sword
The knight raised his new sword high, taking his new duty dutifully
It shall be a new beginning of knight's life serving under His Majesty

To think that all sorrows of your life to be end in one moment
It's a foolish idea and that what the knight thought
What he did not know, no matter how small hope is given
A hope is still a hope for it casts away hopelessness
The knight wishes to get rid of the hopelessness
And a hope has changed him and his life.. Life goes on

Nice story Big Bro. I can see the parallels that you are drawing. Absolution from past misdeeds and a new purpose in life. As well as an implied "sonship" to the new King. Very good.
