There’s a demon inside
eating at my soul
taking for itself
everything I meant to give.

Hold me close,
never let me go
chase away the shadows,
he has created

I never knew what
love could do.
The way it heals,
and sends my demon fleeing,
running for cover.

Occasionally,
he rears his head again
only to be met
by the shining light
of your love.

It never seems to fade,
always there
when I need it most.
You never leave me
to fight him off
all on my own.

Always nearby,
a knight in shining armor
Sword and shield
ready to defend
your damsel in distress.

Never expecting anything in return,
although, you should know
my undying love and gratitude
forever will be yours.

My protector,
my prince,
my knight in shining armor
