You came out of nowhere,
Like a sucker punch.
There was no time,
To expect you,
Or build up stone walls.
All I could do,
Was hide inside flimsy barriers,
As my castle was under siege.
There was nothing to hope for,
After a time,
And it seemed that you had won.
But,
Sometimes in the worst times,
You find strength in the strangest places.
And as I held my sword,
I knew that you were a punch,
And I blow.
And I wasn’t surprised,
By you anymore.
