ODE TO A GUIDE
Anonymous
You came to me in a borrowed coat
Words of guidance from your throat
I should have known, right then and there
That I would grow to need you, Blair
Room mates. Us. It blew my mind.
Who knew this heart could be so kind?
I took you in, began to care
About some punk's well-being, Blair
Almost lost you that dark night
Then found you, chained, and sick with fright
Carried you, safe, from a monster's lair
Relieved you were still with me, Blair
You had a chance to go away
But turned it down and chose to stay
I think that's when I became aware
That yes, it IS about friendship, Blair
You kept me safe. You were my eyes
But nearly met your own demise
I held you close, in deep despair
The day you nearly left me, Blair
The moment he met you, Incacha knew
Your soul was pure, your heart was true
I guess it gave you quite a scare
When you became my Shaman, Blair
People tell me that I've changed
Brother, father, no more estranged
My eyes are lit with a happy flair
You know who is behind it, Blair
Dreams of a wolf, and temples tall
My back seemed up against the wall.
I pushed you away, but this I swear
I wanted to protect you, Blair
Who was this rival in my brain?
This trespasser in my domain.
A villainess with golden hair
Who made me start to doubt you, Blair
And now my eyes have lost their light
Your heartbeat's gone, it can't be right
To stand here, helpless, and only stare
As they take away your body, Blair
What a puzzle, such a surprise
Discovering you were the light in my eyes.
THE END
