By Damien Knight

I lay me down to sleep
At my side I pray you keep
Without you I will wake
My heart is yours to take

Every night I utter thus
Lady of shadows if I must
Hold me in your arms so tight
That I am with you tonight

When the dawn is sure to break
I hope you’ll forget my mistakes
Hold me forever in your grasp
And know I love you at long last
