I Ask Only One Thing

I will keep you warm,

through these cold winter nights,

Far apart from the wolves in the dark,

Tightly safe and sound in my arms.

I will heal,

The scars on your skin,

Those from the battle, 

Even the wounds on your heart.

I will hear your secrets,

You can talk to me all night long,

I will take them to my grave,

And maybe you can hear some of mine along.

I will be your home,

Even if the clouds turn dark and blue.

You can run to me,

If your demons get too scary to handle and you have no clue.

It's fine.

I'll love you.

Even if your hair turns Grey,

And Your skin is wrinkled.

Even with all your broken pieces.

The only thing I ask of you, Darling :

I'll light them back if your eyes lose their shine,

Just cherrish me with the same love,

with these imperfections of mine.
