Keep Me, I'll Keep You Safe

I have a secret to keep
One with scars so heavy and so very deep
Will you keep it with me?
Shutting out the sun and all it’s rain that seeps
Bleeding shelters into our eyes
You and I
A perfect match but such and awful fight
To keep this lie that we don’t even need
Where tonight shall we meet?

Under the moonlight, bleached in eternal life
For it is in this night that we may finally take flight
With your lips as my wings and my touch as your sight
I wrap you in my soul and never let you die
So perfect and so wrong, such a secret
But if everyone already knows, then why keep it?
To protect you from the wicked
Set out to tear you from my eyes and watch them burn it

Will you keep it with me again and again?
This is what we get and I’ve given all I can
Yet still the wondering judgment just will not understand
But you can, and I am
Teach me to break the blistering winter
Show me what it’s like to keep you here
Not hide within the shadows, waiting in fear
Captivated by the colors that all seem gray and oh so drear

Can I hold you tonight?
Embrace you in my heart so tight
Keeping you forever next to me, forever by your side
Can my lips be your wings and my touch be your sight?
No matter the crows that tear and pick the flesh
Letting us crawl wounded far from this mess
No matter the eyes that just can’t seem to catch
The hues of your picturesque blues that leave me so very speechless
