It's alright.

Sometimes when you're sleeping,
you whimper and moan.
You cry softly in terror,
you think you're alone.

But I'm here beside you,
here from the shadows,
to cradle and shield you,
from the highs and the lows.

I watch from your windows,
your locks are a joke,
anyone could get in here,
and beat you 'till you broke.

But that's not going to happen,
I swear on my love.
I'm going to protect you,
push comes to shove.

Your hair is so long now,
your skin is so soft,
and why were you out in the rain?
Tomorrow you'll sniffle and cough.

I say this in a whisper,
while we're safe from the dawn,
I'll always be with you,
of me you'll never be gone.

Always beside you,
always in the dark,
the filth you keep dating,
buried face down in the park.

But I'm not angry,
I know you're so trusting,
you couldn't suspect,
not of their greed and their lustings.

Soon you'll be stirring,
your tears will have dried,
I'll return to the night,
the moon my disguise.

But know that you're loved, dear,
know that you're loved, dear.
I'll always be watching,
I'll always be here.

Shh. Go to sleep now.
