Tyla in Poetry & Free Verse

I watched you from afar 

I was there on your darkest days 

I was your night light 

I was your dragon slashing prince 

I held you in my arms 

when your daddy came home thundering up the stairs 

calling you to come here 

and your mommy crawled in corner with her arms on her head 

and accepting your beating 

then I came down and pulled the rug under your dads foot and he slipped and fell 

he hit his head so hard he passed out 

you and I snickered 

your mom enveloped us in hug 

and told me to pack your bags 

and you forgot to pack me 

and you turned back and look out the back of vans window and waved bye 

and I whispered through the window of the house

you don´t need me to protect you anymore 

because I killed the dragon for you.
