When I look into your eyes I see the pain you locked away. I see the padlock full of rust and dust. The key no where to be seen.

Looking into your eyes I see past the smile on your face. Past the mask you put on so no one will know what is deep inside.

I see the shadows that are lurking and haunting your entire existence. They wait for the right moment as they search for the key.

Your eyes burn into mine as they try to stop me from seeing past the gleaming beautiful outside. They don't want me to know their dark secrets that they've locked away.

I see through the window of your eyes as they show me the truth. The small fragment of your soul you hide away, locked up forever because this is all you have left.

The rest of the fragments forever gone eaten by the demons that lurk in your darkness. I see it all too clearly when I look into yout eyes.

The fear. The sadness. The helplessness. They all beg for a hero to come and help protect the last shard hidden in the chest.

I feel for you and your soul as I wrap my arms around your body pulling you ever so close. Your smile fades as you realize you're not alone anymore fighting this battle.

Together we will heal your soul and protect what is left as I give you a piece of my soul. A piece that will guard that chest of yours from what lurks to destroy.
