There you are

In dark despair and evil dayswhen bad men comes with deathly raysand the child in me flees in fearwhen darkness to my heart is near-there you are. When shadows fall upon my hearthand monsters shake beneath the earthas goblins growl in my secret hallsand spells from witches mouth falls-there you are. Walking dark places inside meI hear hungry hounds laugh - I fleemy demons dig deeper into my soulto meddle there like pillaging mole-there you are. Valiant rider on horse shining white.Brave defender of my heart’s light.Stout slayer of my miserable madness.Gallantly saving me from my darkness-there you are.

Hello

It is very nice to meet you. Great work here. My favorite lines: Valiant rider on horse shining white. Brave defender of my heart’s light. Stout slayer of my miserable madness. Gallantly saving me from my darkness- there you are. Always, Cat

Cat,in my world, it is still

Cat, in my world, it is still the age of heroes and maidens. And we all need saving at some time or another. There are places in the dark that you cannot get out of by yourself. Grieta
