To Protect You

By Allie Helms

Looking at you makes me cry

I can't stop seeing your face in my mind

Etched in my memory like a burning fire

I was trying so hard to protect you

I sold my soul to the devil that day

The day I caused you to go away

I'm so sorry what I did was wrong

I hope someday that you'll forgive me.

I was there at your funeral you know

I looked upon you and said I loved you so

Can't stand my own reflection

But I couldn't let you die

Now the evil isn't really there

I'm not evil cause I care

I will join you someday

I will always be with you

Taking off now to drown in it all

You couldn't help my fall

Everything dies even stars burn out

I need you more than ever now

I'm sorry but I've paid my dues

Can't stand to look at you

Cant stop seeing you etched in my mind like fire

Trying so hard to protect you.
