when you're
alone
and
the monsters pry
at your tips
or your brain
and fingers
I'll be there.

fighting them away
i'll give you everything
just
to
see
that golden
smile.

that young boy
who's known nothing
but love
literature
and life
the 3 L's
that drive us
strive us
strive
you
to be more.

To a,
who you want to be
and though
I'll ache,
I'll ache
happily.
and weep
those happy tears
the ones that save you
from
your nightmares
(the ones where you feel alone)
but
close your eyes,
and hold on
to me.
hold on to all
that I'm giving you.

Hold onto it,
and embrace it.
and know-
that someone in this world sees
all the passion your
mother instilled
in
you.

all the dignity,
your father
handed
to
you.
(not easily)
but, out of
love (for you).
His most fantastical creation- (you)

'Cause,
only you
get
me.

(only you).
