I want to be your knight in shining armour
Not the villain who makes you cry
Not the bastard to whom all your hate is directed
I want to be the man that you dream of every night
I want to fill you with light and banish the dark
I want you to love me the way that I love you
I need you to open those dark corners of your heart
to share your demons with me
to lay your burdens on my shoulders.
I wish I could tell you that you don't have to be so strong.
I wish that I could tell you in a way you might hear.
Because you took me as the broken man that I am
and showed me that I am more than the mask I wore.
More than the broken armour encasing me.
I let you in now let me do the same for you,
because self destruction and tears suit you far less,
than the beautiful smile I long to see once more.
