I want to keep her safe
I just want to protect her
But there's no way I can do that
Being with me means being in danger

I can keep her safe
From anything that could hurt her
Except for myself
I am far too much of a monster

So the safest thing I can do
Is to keep her away from me
While trying to keep her safe from distance
That's just the way it has to be

And I know that it will hurt her
But she'll be better off that way
And she might not understand
Why I have to keep away

But I couldn't live with myself
If she got hurt because of me
So no matter how I love her
This is the way it has to be
I do it because I love her
Maybe someday she will see…
This has been a long time coming, and I think it came out okay.

I think this is sort of almost classic behavior for a lot of "dark" creatures who are in love with people who are not like them, for example I'd say Remus Lupin from "Harry Potter", Mick St. John from "Moonlight" and Edward Cullen from "Twilight", as well as a lot of other characters that I've probably missed or don't even know about, have done what I've tried to capture in this poem, to some extent at least. And I think this sort of mostly comes from watching "Moonlight" and getting sort of annoyed with Mick 'cause it's just like, yeah you go on and do that and see how well it works out for you... It never does.

Anyway... Hope you like it!
