Eternal love - Original Poetry

Let this old volcano awake, erupt and
have everything falling, rain on me;
don`t fear the clouds of pumice, love,
as I shall be your protecting shield.
No worries, I will save you!

I will wrap my arms around you,
hold you close to my chest,
block all the lava rocks and cinder,
protect you from the liquid fire
spewed out only two miles away.

Today is a good day for me to die,
I get to be the hero you asked for,
I don`t mind if this means the end of me
cause I know that for the rest of your life,
I will live in glory. I shall become the one.

I will be the one who
showed up when it mattered,
the one that saved you.
I`ll be the obsidian pearl
that never leaves your neck.
Beat this, future lover boy!
