There are monsters beneath my bed,
But I am not scared
I have his over-sized socks,
So my feet are not bare

His most worn sweatshirt,
Hanging down to my knees
Becomes my defense,
Too big for me

I wait until he comes home,
I swear not to flee,
I am safe, I am sheltered,
He will never leave

His worn out Tee
Guarding my heart,
Fending my demons,
I won’t fall apart
