Loyalty is not a reward scheme, it will cost you my dear.
It would appear that loyalty has fallen out of fashion in this "me first" greedy culture. Not I. Knot Eye. I stand. Loyalty is an essential part of love, one that is earned the hard way every time. So though unfashionable my values are, I'm good. I'll keep 'em.
Following as a sheep is a pestilence, what you bring has real value in this world and every other - you bring wisdom and lay it at my feet as if it were my feat rather than your own. You are loyalty and I hear you with all that I am.
It is your loyalty that makes you the right kind of royalty, my love, my queen.
You are the right kind of loyal - a thinker, a protector, a soul resurrector even when my soul-pulse needs re-ignition.
Many whom claim loyalty do so from behind various forms of shield, they are cowards worth not the air they breathe.
