Scared

I breathe you and feel at peace.
How long will this last I cannot tell.
I’m afraid the demon will come for
me and take me back to hell.

Safe in your arms I close my eyes.
My dreams with you are serene.
I’m scared of the dark and to be alone,
unsure of what is unseen.

Hold me close, and protect me.
Tell me everything will be alright.
For all too soon comes the nightmares
when day becomes the night.

Rock me as a little child, your love I need to feel.
Maybe then the bad dreams won’t come around to play.
I kiss you good bye and watch you drive away.
Knowing that soon you will be back to stay.
