In sleep you await the breaking dawn
\nWhile I lay awake in dread of light
\nFor I will linger here in our bond
\nUntil duty rips asunder our night<\/p>\n
A web of hyphae I spawn at your roots
\nTo prepare your strength like a goddess moon
\nSo you may walk harmless in your boots
\nInvincible hero returning soon<\/p>\n
One day I too will bear your spore
\nTo complete the symbiosis we share
\nBut not until you return from war
\nTo rekindle the fire of the love we bear<\/p>\n
Caressing your body in darkness now
\nI dread its loss and fear my plight
\nIf you die, never to see the light,
\nMy love entombed and out of sight<\/p>\n
Not just your death, but mine foretold
\nA lover’s lament, too often retold.<\/p>\n
