She comes to me at night.

At night her tears my pillow holds

The dreams she wishes to live, elude her heart and soul

At night I am her hero, battling dragons, my sword and cunning at the ready

At night I am her cherished teddy bear, just meant for her to hold

At night I can be strong and chase her demons away

At night she cries so very much, nightmares invade her mind, visions of the past, fears of the future

At night I hold her close, fight away the evils that threaten to drag her away, at night I am strong

She smiles from beneath her sorrow; that smile only meant only for me

While he sleeps in another room, my strength is what she seeks; my body is her harbor amidst the storm

In the morning it will be different

In the morning she is gone, back to her perfect life

Feigned laughter and happiness a mask for all to see

But at night her heart is open, it is only meant for me

At night I am her savior, her knight cloaked in darkness and black

At night she is my all

In the morning it will be different

But at night I am hers
