Settle Down...

Settle down, baby girl...just relax.
The demons in your mind are gone.
No need for you to worry now--
just ease up on yourself and rest.

Settle down, my precious...ease up.
Look into my eyes, you are safe.
The bad man haunting you is gone,
and you need not cry any more now.

Settle down, dear child...you're safe.
Let me kiss away the tears from you.
Let my caresses soothe away the pain,
and make you feel whole-and-renewed.

Settle down, beloved one...I am here.
Let me hold you close, and love you.
I know the demons might return to you--
but for now, I will keep them away.
