She is waking
The dawn in her hair
No hint of yesterday's
Selfless despair

"The two of us
are going home alive"
She told me
Fire in her eyes

"I'm not scared because
I believe in you now"
Her eyes were closed
Her head mid-bow

Her heart beating
In unison with mine
A strange sensation
Calming, Sublime

She is stirring
Eyelashes fluttering
Tears all gone
From yesterday's crying

No more will the sun rise
To her unhappy tears
Because I am here now
And will banish all her fears.
