Modern White Knight

i have never wept
So soft and true

As that quiet night
When You lit a candle
And doused the light
Florescent and mean

Just so that the ache
Like a railroad spike
Driven into my skull
Would ease a little

Never with such care
Concern and compassion
Had i been watched over
Wrapped safely in Your arms

Wrapped in velvety dark
Your cool hands pressed
So gently to the points
Of staggering pain

i have never wept
With such appreciation
For no one had stayed
Just stayed through the pain

Always before i was left
Alone to sleep, to cry in agony
As lightning tore though
my mind again and again

Never before had someone
Valued my strength
And then held me close
Through such weakness
