"Protection"-- Massive Attack
This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm,
doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her
I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her
just the way you found her
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
You're a boy and I'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be
I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection
She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small,
you look so small
You got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown,
she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall
Stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection
Youre a girl and I'm a boy
Sometimes you look so small,
need some shelter
Just runnin round and round,
helter skelter
And I've leaned on you for years
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love,
that's the way it should be
Now, I can't change the way you think
But I can put my arms around you
Thats just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I put my arms around you
I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow

tenebrious on May 17, 2006Nikki is my hero, she is my friend. She is beautiful and she is wise. She is who introduced me to writing poetry and if not for her I wouldn't be here. She is wonderful and she is strong. She is selfless, she is brave. She has helped me through some rough times and I can always count on her to say just what I need to hear. I would die for her, she is my friend.

Stewy on November 29, 2005Hey Hey, I know I need to post something. I have been experiencing some serious writers block. Hopefully I will be able to write something soon. It is possible that I may have some inspiration after we visit the NYC. Well here is Sabrina's site it is Brina414. Its awesome
