.
Amid the rising dark,
I will seek the light.
I stand watch
So you may sleep soundly.
I carry no weapons
that can be seen.
No defence
Against the violent fray.
I stand not for one,
But many of one voice.
A single broken heart
A single choice.
I can not change
The words that hurt you.
I can not heal
The gaping wounds left.
I will walk with you,
fill what needs I can.
Pushed beyond reason
To limits end.
If perhaps I do not rise,
From this unforgiving place,
Know you were a friend to me
In a time without peace.
