Stabs

I won't bleed for you
No matter how much you stab me in my back
No matter the force of your every attack
I won't be there for you
I won't help you cover up all the things you lack
You keep bailing on me, but this time
I won't be here when you get back
Or when you turn to stab me in my back
So save your daggers
Save your thrust
You may not have my blood
Although you did have my trust

In My Garden

In my garden
My sacred guardian
Stands ever so tall
Helps me get up whenever I fall
A statue that will never rust
And never throw away my trust
Stand there, will you, stand there always?
Stand there steadily, never sway?
I’ll be strong enough to chase my fears
As long as you stay
As long as you’re here
So stand upon the pillars at the gate
Twin eye pairs watching over my fate
Don't let yourself be withered by the hands of time
You may be nothing but matter
But as long as you stand there
You matter
To me
Somewhere
In my garden
