Marred and marked from battle
He hides in the night
Searching and seeking
The shadow beyond the light

Fierce is this warrior
Pained by his past
Dark is his soul
But this he must mask

Giggling child
His hearts delight
She loves him and his darkness
With all her might

His tiny angel
His golden haired little girl
With her innocent smile
Oblivious to the world


He wishes to come from the shadows
And see her wide eyed face  
For he is the demon that guards her
Loving and unable to trace
