Night Terrors and Armor

Oh Dee, can you hear my heart tonight?

In this quiet darkness, I’m losing the fight

The shadows whisper secrets I've buried so deep

Oh Dee, come hold me, when nightmares creep.

I woke you up from a peaceful dream,

But these terrors haunt me, tearing at the seam

I feel the sweat on my brow, the cold chills tight,

Wrapped in these memories that plague me at night.

Oh Dee, your arms, they’re my soft retreat,

A fortress of warmth that makes me complete,

When the shadows call out, with their cruel refrain,

Come shield me, darling, from this heartache and pain.

Oh Dee, my knight, in shining armor you are,

Guiding me home, my bright morning star,

With you by my side, I can chase away the demons,

But alone in this SUV, the past keeps on screaming.

The echoes of violence, still carved in my soul,

I feel the knife’s edge, it’s taking its toll,

But your laughter, it dances, and breaks through the gloom,

Oh Dee, come save me, banish the doom.

Three-thirty, three-forty, these hours curling tight,

I fight with my mind in the dead of the night,

The words of the past whisper cruel and clear,

But with you beside me, I can conquer my fear.

Oh Dee, don’t let go, don’t fade from my sight,

Your love is my armor, my hope, my light,

Through the scars and the stories of what I’ve been through,

Hold me close, I’m begging, I need you so true.

Oh Dee, my knight, in shining armor you are,

Guarding my heart, no matter how far,

With you by my side, I can chase away the demons,

But alone in this SUV, the past keeps on screaming.

So let me sleep lightly, with your heart next to mine,

In the shelter of love, let the stars brightly shine,

Oh Dee, I’m sorry, for the night that I broke,

But you’re my stronghold, my heart’s perfect cloak.
