by Adrienne
Close your eyes and pray, my love;
I beg you, sleep if you can.
What I'm loath to say is true:
This monster is more than man.
For your sake, I'll brave the storm,
the raging terrors of night.
Hush, I'll keep you safe from harm,
hold you until morning light.
No long-dead sword shall touch you
as long as you're by my side;
no vengeful ghost molest you,
for devotion never dies.
