This chilling, deceptive poem unfolds with a soothing, tender voice that cloaks itself in the comforting imagery of a faithful protector, or maybe not.
I am the warm embrace that breaks the chill, The steady anchor when the waters rise, I am the quiet peace that cures your ill, The golden truth beneath untroubled skies. I hold your trembling hand against the storm, I guide your tired steps into the light, To keep your fragile, weary spirit warm, And watch you safely through the darkest night. I am your faithful shield, your closest friend, The heart that beats in rhythm with your own, I promise I will guard you to the end, So you will never have to walk alone. Step closer now, and let me lock the door— I am the surgeon, and you are on the floor.
