As I look up at this iron statue

Stiff and hard as stone

I see the eyes of a warrior

And the way they must have shown



This guardian has protected so much

Yet still cut down all who did wrong

He showed me kindness I never knew

And stood by me all along



This guardian captured my heart one day

But I knew it could never be

He loved another, of this I knew

If only it were me



He knew of my heart and asked me why

But no answer I could find

He said he wished that time could change

To this I simply sighed



He tried so hard to right the wrongs

And make everything to be his own

He never told me his own problems

He preferred to solve them alone



I respected his wishes but helped when I could

Always watching from afar

But one day I pushed his temper

And for that I have a scar



As time went on I had to watch

His love for her grow

All the while hurting myself

But I never let him know



All I wanted was his happiness

Even if it meant my own

Even if it meant with her

Leaving me alone



Then one day while we were talking

Kind and happy as could be

She came running, screaming for help

And off he went for she



It was a monster chasing his love

So he stood up and drew his sword

Then clashing metal and sparks a flew

As the hideous monster roared



At once I knew what I must do

To save his life and hers

I took his sword and stabbed the beast

This act had sealed my doom



The stab I made was deadly

But it was sad to find

He hit back, his final blow

My heart, his claws aligned



As I came to my knees, he came to catch me

And I looked up into his eyes

I reached up and touched his cheek

It was wet with tears to my surprise



He kept asking, "Why did you do it? Why?!"

And to this I simply sighed

I touched his hand to my heart and said,

"True love, it never dies."



As I look up at this guardian

And look deep in his eyes

I see the fear for the first time

Fear of my demise



I told him that I wished him

Happiness and love forever on

I told him that I'd love him

Even after I was gone



I look up at this great guardian

And squeeze his hand and smile

He looked at me and whispered,

"See you in a little while."



I can't wait to be in heaven

I tell my guardian

I guess I didn't really lose

Cause I'll be there with him



So ends this tragic story

Of true love that never could have been

But it's all right, I am sure

Because I know I'll never be forgotten
