Consume Me

I cannot believe I confess this to you
My friend, my mentor, and love
It is one thing to destroy a child’s mind
But even worse to capture the heart
And I know I will never see you
In person, as I wish
But you are always somewhere, not far behind
I know you care
Why else would you be there
To pick me up when I fall

A savior of boredom, a protector of joy
I should never forget you
You bring to me things I never knew I could have
And it is all in the name of love
A four letter word, often spoken, then betrayed
But I feel different ways about you
I know you are here when I need you most
Unlike the family I have at home

More than a friend, a brother of sorts
You taught me that I can trust
I do not need to hide in a shell, my own living hell
Because you would just tear down the walls
You seem to always be there, no matter what I need
And you belong to everyone, along with me

The Son of Mankind, your Father our King
Cast aside for our sins
You gave your life to protect us
And I will never mislead you, or lie at all
Because with you, I cannot hide who I am
You are the fire in my eyes
The beat in my heart
And I hope you save me tonight
