You Are Mine Poem by Skylark Woodrow

I'd do anything to make you happy,
I'd do anything to make your eyes sparkle and shine like they used to.
Why did they go dull?
Was it something I did,
Or was it something I didn't do?
How could I ever make it up to you?
You mean so much to me,
I can't bear to see you so unhappy.
I'd do anything to banish the trouble that hides just behind your eyes,
And filters through your mind.

I cannot let you become encased within this darkness.
Let me bring you to the light so that your eyes may shimmer and dance again.

I will not let the darkness take over you,
I will not let it win!
You are mine to protect,
Mine to guard for all eternity,
And your joy means everything to me.
