A Knight in Jeans and a T-Shirt

Shattered dreams and broken promises
Lay scattered on my bedroom floor
Cowering in a corner battered and bruised
Cuts still bleeding, I’m left crying.
My past laying about me, taunting
Demeaning me and waiting for my next move.
Shards shimmer and glare at me
I can do nothing but cower and hide my eyes.
I see you standing there at the door
So far away with tears escaping your eyes
i reach out to you, but get snapped by fate
I curl back up and cower burying my face.
Inch by inch you slowly wade through my past
Tormentors biting your ankles
Childish bullies throwing spit wads at your heels
Harsh words being yelled and screamed at you
Razors leaping from the sea of tears
Cutting your legs and laughing manically
Diving back into the waves of insanity
Step by step never shedding a tear
Just slowly walking towards me
With arms open wide reaching out to me.
Huddled shaking in the corner I stare helplessly
Bleeding, limping and pushing on towards me
Moments later I feel his warm touch on my arm
I can’t believe he risked all that just for comfort
He kneels down and rubs my arm
His warmth reaches my face and leads it
Bringing it to meet his heavenly gaze
He kisses my cheek and brings my body to his
My face brightens and color returns
My fragile body regaining the strength life sucked from it
I latched onto his leg and held it for what seemed an eternity
He held me; one arm on my back, one on my head.
He lifted me up from the pool of blood and held me close
He made the journey once more
Passing through the turbulent sea of suicide
All the while whispering in my ear,
“I will keep you safe from all harm…”
