INSIDE

You are
Her knight in shining armor
Rescuing her from the dragons of reality
Saving her from the insanities
Of the outside world

As you draw her inside your armor
And you hold her
Against your chest
Your arms encircle her
Protecting her from her own thoughts
Of helplessness,
Despair...

Her body relaxes. She is free.
All that matters
Is this instant
Each, for the other, for the moment
For a lifetime
For Time stands still
In their small world
Inside your armor.
