I want to save you.
but, from what, I do not know.
I want you to be indebted
to me, for eternity.
I want to rescue you from
the nameless demons in your dreams.
I want to draw my golden bow
and shoot down the sun
if her light harms you.
I want to be the globe
of purple light
that guides you through the darkness
of yourself.
I want you
to be lost
without
me.
