1Protection
I try to be
Your shield
And the pillar
That holds you up
When you start to fall
But when you reach for me
And I reach in return
You pull back
And I am the one
That begins to slip
There is
No one there
To catch me
Or
Bring me back
To life
When my senses
Have gone dull
And my heart
Seems to have stopped beating
I'm tired
Of putting myself
In situations that I know
Will leave me vulnerable
To your venom
And anger
I'm desperate
To be free from you
But I can't seem to stop myself
From running to you
When you call out to me
In distress
I need you to understand
That all I want
Is for you
To be safe
And happy
But you accuse me
Of depriving you
Of the happiness and joy
You believe you can achieve
I want to help
Not harm
But every move I make
Is criticized
I can't take
Anymore of this
I wish
I could be your light
So I could lead you out
Of this tunnel of darkness
You are trapped in
But I can't be
That thing
That you are looking for
And I can't be
The help you need
So please
Just let me leave this mess
Unbroken and unhurt
