Protection from Love
I just lost my balance
I had my feet firmly planted on stone
I just lost my sense of direction
Can't seem to find my way home
A home safe and protected
from intruders and guests alike
I placed a mote filled with dangerous creatures
to keep out all that desire
Desire to love me and hurt me
Desire to make me their own
I thought I had impenetrable security
until i sensed I wasn't alone
I'm standing with my weapons
as your shadow gets closer to me
I fire shot upon shot
but you don't seem to bleed
You take the shots like a hero
determined to save the day
No matter how I defend my home
I can't seem to run you away
You made it to my room
I attempt to lock the door
I lay in the corner in the fetal position
I just can't take anymore
you knock with such sweetness
and whisper let me inside
I rock myself to sleep in the corner
Hoping that if I hide
Hide myself long enough
you will eventually leave
But when I awake I'm in your arms
and you tell me you're in love with me
