Protector


The rain pours down
On the eternal night
The dragon lay asleep

Pain, anger, remorse
Consume
With the nights unending presence

New days seem more painful
As I watch life pass by
Memories flood emotions
But my mind remains touched and untouched
-by new and old sorrows
Left untold

I have to endure
I have to protect
I have to save
I have to do all with one thing by my side...
...hope
Hope, confidence -
Are all gifts
I do not deserve
But take with love

I must protect everything I love
-even those who I dislike
I'll do it all without hesitation
Because I was meant to protect
I am a protector

I am called
I come
I am needed
I shall provide
This is my job
This is what I am meant to do
I will do this without hesitation
-for that is all I know

Watch and learn
For I have much to tell -
Of pain and sorrows
Cries and deaths,
Listen to my stories
So they will help the untold be told

Will you let me be your protector?

Keep your heart
By my side
I will care for it
I will take it with love
I will take your trust,
Holding it forever
Within myself
For,
I will always care
Care about you
And everything else
I am a protector
This is what I do
I will protect you
As I protect all

Watch,
Follow,
Behold,
Meaning is nothing
If there is no life
Within its words
Let me bring the life
Back to your heart
Let me be your protector
