Your Protector

I think about the times you hurt,
the times of pain,
and I just want to hold you.
I just want to make those people
who made your tears appear
get their fair due.
I want to console you,
assuring there is no permanent
damage that has been done.
I think how I would yell,
how I would scream, would curse
those who hurt my love, my one.
I think how much I wish
I could simply be where you are
at this, your greatest moment of grief.
I want to be the one
who intercedes and stops the offenders,
the one who provides the much needed relief.
I want to be the one,
your protector for all days,
and never be apart enough for you to doubt.
I think about the time
I can show you this truth,
a time that is approaching quickly...
that is here now.
