As I lay down to sleep

I feel his dark shadow cross my mind

 

His fedora tilted low upon his face

A black suit and long cape his trademark.

 

He smiles softly.

I can only see his soft lips stark against the darkness.

His soft hair curls long down to hit collar.

 

 

Every night the same thing

The music begins and he pulls me close.

 

 

I feel his shoulder upon my cheek 

My eyes drawn to the face hidden by the black fedora.

 

 

His lips move softly singing to the music.

 

 

 

So softly I cannot hear the words

But my heart seems to know the phrases.

 

 

 

He gently guides me across an deserted floor

I trust him completely, to question is abominable.

 

 

The echoes of our shoes keep time with the haunting music.

My mind ponders his beauty and grace

He is light upon his feet, his motions smooth and comforting

 

 

He tilts his head, I peek to see his piercing blue eyes

Shyly he smiles and swiftly turns me like a ballerina my skirts flow outward

only for him to capture me once more in his embrace

I blush under his scrutiny

 

Arms strong and yet cold, a breath that touches my cheek

Once in a while he graces my face with his hand

I feel cold wisps upon my neck, icy trails meant to inscribe his desire

My cheek graces his shoulder and I try to nestle up to his neck.

 

I see a ring on his fourth finger, purple and flashing

 

In whispers, he reminds me of our oath

Together forever, Never parted.

 

 

 

my sleep grows deeper into darkness

 

 

My heart grows closer to its dark guardian

My knight draws me into a sinister cold embrace

 

I mumble as I fall asleep, I love you.

I hear Forever darling forever....

 

 

then the silence becomes deafening

My mind falls into darkness

The emptiness seems to entomb me.

 

 

 

I sleep until the night is nearly gone.

I know he is still with me

My dark angel guards his heart
