Morrigan Harker
Good night, my angel
I see you next to me,
Dreaming peacefully
Despite the wounds I dressed
And the pain you took
From the weight of the world.
I hope I helped enough
In today’s fight against my demons,
But don’t worry about them now—
I’ll handle whatever comes
Until the sun returns again.
We both will need our strength
For the times ahead.
Good night, my angel
Your wings are missing feathers
From everything that’s happened today—
I hope they will grow back tonight.
I can see them coming closer
To shield me from the darkness—
I feel it’s my time to
Protect you
When you have done
So much
To watch over me.
I can hear the demons’ baying
Outside the doors
I have closed on them.
I’ll hold them off.
Good night, my angel
I see you reach out in your sleep
For your sword and shield—
Will holding my hand instead
Make you feel safer?
The war against
The demons in my mind
Will never end,
But I hope
At least until dawn
You can forget the fight
We both have ahead of us.
I’ll stand guard tonight.
