I could be the shoulder you cried upon,
when the demons visit you late at night.
I could hold you tight when you yawn,
be your very own shiny armored knight.

I could be the cloud that lifted you up,
when you're on the floor bleeding out.
But then I could also be just a hookup,
a fleeting fix to help you on your route.

And I could be far away, be long gone,
depart without another second to spare,
already just a fading memory by dawn.
And maybe I could be your nightmare?
