This is truly beautiful from the beginning to the end. It has serene rhythm and flawless flow in each stanza. You created wonderful and interesting imagery and the emotions are expressed greatly.
My favorite stanza is:

- You stayed there in the dark
caressing the fears away
watching for the shadows
keeping them at bay-
^^
Very captivating...

Keep up!
