Keeper Of The Peace

Sometimes we fall from grace, sometimes we can save face
When the door is locked, you simply have to find the key
That's always easier said than done,but easier than we think
Considering what you were to me, I make excuses for you
Always taking whatever you may, unconsicious to the pain
You take in the beauty that you see, and hold it within you
Forever grasping for something to keep you afloat...
There is a promise that still remains, unbroken
And I stand in the middle of the storm, smiling
With one look, I can dispell all the ice in your heart
But, I'm not sure that you're worth it, anymore
You are king of so many...a king, but savior to none
And for a moment I stop and consider exactly who you are
I know that I cannot leave you in your darkness
Be still, and be comforted...I will not forsake you...
Resolved, I step up to the silence, keeper of the peace
Hearing your voice echo softly in my mind
You say that I am the only one that you trust
Strange, I didn't think that you trusted anyone
And I know for certain that you don't trust yourself...
I don't think that you understand precisely who I am
You think that you know me, inside and out
But, there are peices of me that you cannot even comprehend
I am the wind in the night
I am a dramatic shade of truth
I am quietly intense
I am a thousand things and then some
But, for some reason, wholly unknown to me
You simply see me as your gaurdian angel...
