Gatekeeper’s Light

This gate of bone,

I hold the key,

A silent watch, eternally.

They see the shadows,

see the night,

But miss the flicker of the light.

It’s not all black,

inside of me,

There’s white and gold,

for eyes that see.

A fragile treasure, I must defend,

On this, my kingdom will depend.

Your words are glass,

a pretty lie,

Reflecting depths you can't describe.

You see a prize,

a lock to break,

But cheapened love is my mistake.

It’s not all black,

inside of me,

There’s white and gold,

for eyes that see.

A fragile treasure, I must defend,

On this, my kingdom will depend.
