Seeing you just lying there
Afraid, adrift, alone
I long to sit beside you
& hold you till it's gone
Stroke your face
Embrace your heart
Rock you off to sleep
Safe from all your demons
And always mine to keep
Draw strength from me
Take all I have
Assured that I have more
I'll be your guiding lighthouse
To bring you safe to shore
I'll take your fears and worries
Don't fret, my arms are strong
Try not to be so scared now
I've been here all along.
