)O(
I am your guardian, as you are mine.
No others see your weaknesses so clear.
With this in thought, I beg of you, consign
To me the task to ease your deeper fears.
I see the child killing not for sport,
The broken boy who lurks behind the screen.
In fear, you murder, as a last resort
And only pray your terror won't be seen.
You need me, Tom, for even greatest men
Need one who knows the secrets of their heart.
Without release, your mind begins to bend,
Your legendary status comes apart.
Let companionship ease killing's toll,
And let me be the vessel for your soul.
)O(
