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
