The Tears of a Guardian

Have you ever felt so hopeless, so lonely, that it makes you break down and cry?
That it shatters the tough outer shell you hide behind and cuts so deep into your soul it makes you want to die?
Because I have.
Has there ever been a time when you thought you might die from the pain of sadness, of grief?
Have you ever found yourself kneeling in the pouring rain, tears sliding down your cheeks as cool water hits your face?
Because I have.

I may be tough, and I may be strong
But there are some things even I can’t handle alone
Like the sadness that accompanies my loneliness ever so often
When the tears come and I can’t stop them from falling
And there’s no one around to comfort me, to tell me everything’s okay



They say the tears of a Guardian are the most honest tears there are
And I have to agree with them
Because the sorrow I feel now and again is no joke
I wish I had someone to take it all away
So I’d never have to feel lonely again

But I guess this is the curse of a Guardian
Doomed to live most of life alone
But I still have to wonder in my times of woe
Can anyone hear my plea?
Is there someone watching over me?
Because I feel like it’s too much sometimes, this life I must lead
Never free to wander for long, always bound by my duty
To guard and protect this island of mine
From all who wish it harm

Is there anyone out there for me?
Anyone to take away my misery?
If there is, I’d really like to know
Because this loneliness really hurts me so.
