When I met her
I was in a dark place
She made me feel better
alone with her I felt safe
When I met her
I fell in love easily
Me and her alone
protecting me in isolation furiously
Her's was the fear
but I knew why I had to be scared
the danger was clear
I wasn't meant to be shared
But hidden in front of everyone's eyes
better still behind closed doors
safe and sound and internally screaming
my lively body lying dead on barren floors
When I met her
to love her felt so right
easier yet but to walk amongst strangers
simpler yet to swallow all forsaken pride
Since I realized that I loved her wrong
that I only grew fond of her protection
I started taking her out on walks
I've written her a heartfelt song
"I love you dear,
you are my fearful guardian
and I thank you for reminding me
to keep an open eye, to always look for the hidden scorpion
Let me find comfort in you
when I know being terrified
makes less a fool out of me
but only a soul less traveled, barely petrified.
In my way of loving,
let me find my kind of freedom
I don't need you solving
Anxiety. "

Totally freestyled this. Might change it later. Let me know what you think.
