My Protector

Lock the door and abandon the key

You give me contentment in times of demand

Even the dark cannot hold off your love

I keep you a secret, a profound mystery

Placed in a box, protected from life

Hidden from voices that whisper to me

Stained by the tears of misery and despair

You help me see the light when it is not there

Passed down from above latched in stories

They tell of a place so dreadful and lost

I hate to think you watched it all, yet here you are

With me today, a treasure that will never fray

But why so still? Do you not yearn to move?

I have bottled myself up long enough to know

That a weight on your shoulders will start to build

Yet here you stand a solder in the light

a protector from the night

I trapped you away, locked in the dark

My memories and thoughts captured inside you

Your silver skin as pale as the moon and as lost as my mind

Their words my soul lost inside
