Don’t be afraid.  I have not come to hurt you.  I take many people away, I kidnap many children, but it is not your time.  You are not on my list of people that need to die.  Not yet. I just sit here in the shadows, watching your chest rising up and down as you sleep at night.  Please, dream freely.  Think of me as your guardian angel.  I’m here to protect you from the terrors of the darkness.  I’ll guide you into places where the light doesn’t shine.  Feel my cold finger tips brush against your warm cheek.  Don’t flinch, it’s only me.  I have not come to harm you, not today.   Today I am a friend, a lover, someone to trust.  Whisper your deepest secrets in my ear, I won’t speak a word.  Why so cold?  Why do you shiver and shake?  The weapons strapped to my waist are not meant for you, but the people that would do these things to you.  The people you should fear.  I am here to guard you, save you from a bloody fate.  In times like these, you must be careful who you turn your back upon.  Watch out, those men that carry knives sealed in the shadows of their cloaks are only waiting for a chance to plunge their blades into your back.  I would never do such things.  I will hold you, my hands caress your shaking skin like the healing kiss of a lover.  That is, so long as you do not turn your back on me.
