YOU WANTED A WARRIOR


      You wanted the warrior,
      I saw the flowers grow.
      You were gentle,
      And I full of anger.

      I wanted a princess,
      You saw a sword in my hand.
      I was young,
      You had the grace.

      I talked of love,
      You saw the blood at my feet.
      I placed a rose in your hair,
      And Dreamt of peace.

      We walked on the beach,
      In different directions.
      You looking for a soldier,
      I lost in the eyes of a princess.
