My protector


Diamond dust dances from the frozen frontier. It clings to my eyelashes, but I see him rush to linger. Ahead he guards me; protects me. Beyond the beyond, the mask of danger veils. I declare, "I need not sympathy. I tread alone." This is an equivocation upon my soul. Protect my brave heart From my cowardice mind. He says to me there's nothing to fear. I wish I could swallow such sweet lies. I strive to be as brave as he. As we battle the razor rimmed breeze. An avalanche of woe swarms my mind. I stifle a stroke, I cry while he comes. He takes my hand knowing I will survive. Protect my brave heart From my cowardice mind Shield my soul, my love, my mind From the hurt that binds me to the ground. I trust him blindly and his strength To lead me on a path of dignity We walk fragile roads. But I'll find it with my friend any day. Protect my brave heart From my cowardice mind.
