OF THE COLD - Keeper Of Thorns

I saw a lone rose
A bright star shrouded
Hope lost and hidden
A life worn and frayed
I wanted to be the one
That only you saw
I wanted to be your keeper of thorns
I saw you
Your beautiful dark wings
The elation beneath
All that you hid in the deep
All the beauty within
That endless sadness
All those stained thorns
All that the dark had brought
I saw a rose with thorns aimed
I saw the rose wither and die
The rust of the world rotting its leaves
A beauty lost in place and time
I wanted to bring you from the shadows
Take you back to the light from which you were torn
Yet I took you on wrong paths
The shadows still reach for you
The night still drown in black thoughts
Our hearts still caught
I wanted to be the one
That held you close
I wanted to be the one
That only you saw
I wanted to be the one
That sheltered you from your storm
I wanted to be your keeper of thorns
Now I fear the night
And the darkness inside
I fear each breath
And your blank eyes
I fear all dreams and the whisper inside
I fear time and your sad eyes
