Will he...?

When darkness falls,
Will he be there?
Will he be the one,
To stroke your hair?
Will he hold you close,
Even as you fight,
To claw your way lose,
From the darkness inside?
Will he hum to you,
To make you forget,
The noises they make,
That drown everything else,
In your head?
And cradle your trembling form,
Whispering words,
That keep you warm,
And evaporate the tears,
That threaten to fall,
Eating away at who you are,
Making you forget all,
Will he be the one,
To catch you,
Before you hit the end,
Or will he let you go,
As they all did before?
