Taniacia the Blooded, Captain of the Guard
The Blooded, Captain of the Guard Taniacia (a.k.a. Tia, Cia)
I was his champion once he told me things, said all the right lines, melted me into his mold, then boldly left me blind, wounded by his lack. I'm his dead champion, a decorated sad veteran, whose seen the elephant. I wear a purple heart where mine once beat, so I think I'll go mercenary now, cry my way behind the scenes, try the clandestine route for serious love.Original by Jonny Angel , Hello poetry https://hellopoetry.com/poem/591928/i-am-her-dead-champion-now-a-mercenary/-Kleorise The Red Siren
