Protect

I have a bit of a super hero complex so this is how I feel about that...

Protect

You the one I love from a distance

I told you to run

I pray you’ve made it far

So you cannot see this.

I see bodies

I see blood

I see rubble

You the one who doesn’t know

That I do this for you

I pray music fills your ears

So you cannot hear this.

I hear metal clashing

I hear explosions

I hear screaming

You the one who feels alone

Since you know not of family

I pray the angels embrace you

So that you can feel.

I feel drained

I feel forgotten

I feel resolve

You the one who doesn’t listen

You the one who can see

You the one who says you’ll stay

You who opens your arms

I cannot be with.

Unless I grip this sword

You I cannot protect

Since I grip this sword

You I cannot hug

So I grip this sword

Now I must protect

Someday I’ll drop this sword

Too pick up another.

There is always someone to protect.
