I will always hold you close
protecting you from pain
in my arms or in my heart
your demons I have slain
I will shed my blood for you
just to keep you free
give my life so you may live
a king or queen you’ll be
I would bare a thousand cuts
absorb a million blows
but never waver from my course
to save you from your woes
I believe a man is thus
to shield his precious doves
slings and arrows to his flesh
protecting those he loves
Insecurely Confident

Question: What is it about this that you like?
I am curious how others interpret things. If you don’t know or can’t put it into words, I understand.

I think it’s the rawness in it. You also picked an awesome pic to describe the feelings behind the words. I guess the words moved me in a way in which I felt the feeling of wanting to protect those you love at all cost.

You know, it’s shit like this that make women take their armor and clothes off to please the hell out of you. Cut it out. (This piece is what I was talking about how you just melt me with your honorable side. NOT that any other side isn’t honorable but you know what I mean.)

Well said, the strength of a man to keep safe the ones he loves.

Exactly. Strength comes from a willingness to do what must be done, not necessarily physical strength, but physical strength doesn’t hurt. 😉
