Shadow.

Walk slowly my dear,
Tread softly and as you do.
I'll follow your daring lead.
I'll be the shadow protecting you.

Whenever you yell in terror,
Wake from your most horrific dream.
I'll be there to comfort you,
Hush your every scream.

When your running from your pain,
To the place where only we belong.
I'll be there to guide you,
Slowly helping you along.

I'll love you then,
Like I always have.
A love bright and strong.

But now it's you who needs the help.
And I'll forever guide you along.

Through the path of hurt,
The times when your down.
This is what love does to me.
I'll be helping you now.

But remember walk slowly my dear,
Tread softly and as you do.
I'll follow your daring lead.
I'll be the shadow protecting you.
