Protector Poem by William Mowell

I saved you and you say you love me
But you can't love this wretch that you see

I'm the darkness that saves the light
I'll give up my life just so you don't have to fight

I'll save you from the wretches that are worse than me
I'll imprison myself so you can be free

Seeing you live is reward enough for me
I'll make all your nightmares flee

I'll slay your demons and in the darkness I'll disappear
But I'll be back whenever there's something to fear

I'm your protector and nothing more
I'm not looking for another score

Protect and serve, with nothing in return
Give my all then the road I'll burn

I love you with all my heart
I know you feel the same about this spare part

You're my flesh and blood, but we're not related
You're someone's daughter and a life of freedom I have created

I may never hold your hand
But saving you makes me a man
