Who stands guard over your dreams?
Each time you close your eyes
Not long ere the night folds her cloak
And dissolves into the rays of dawn
Who watches over you in her every thought?
As late at night you roam the city
Immersed in things of small import
Leaving no thought astray for the wings
That shield you from harm's way
Who dreams of you every night?
And falls asleep in your arms
Who smiles a secret smile at the mere
Mention of your name?
Who attempts to divine from your words?
Your thoughts, your mood, your feelings today
Who is the one that yearns to comfort
You in her arms as you fight for acceptance
Reading from your stubborn brow
The pain of rejection you seek to ignore
The only one allowed to hurt you
She lets false words fall from her lips
See in her eyes a deceptive hate
Lest your heart freeze in pain or fear
For it's the chasm that yawns beneath your feet
That bears the brunt of her fury
The reason why she runs further each time
She feels that distance close
The distance keeps her safer
Protects her from your hurt
And under cover of that aloof mantle
She prays for her heart
And watches over her soulmate
