Do you know yours...?
My special stranger is always there;
Where I cannot see sometimes stroking my hair.
I awaken to feel his usual presence.
Compared to the others, there’s an unequal balance.

My special stranger helps me survive.
He’s the reason I wake up alive.
Always in my nightmares lurking;
Saving me and never stops working.

He is MY special stranger.
He keeps me from unexpected danger.
He is MY special stranger.
His absence will only to lead to my anger.

So now where might he be?
Is he in the place I cannot see?
So now where is he hiding?
“If you come out now, you can avoid my chiding.
Why are you acting so fremd?
It is only because of punishment that you are condemned.
You are MINE; you have no right to wander.
You’re scaring me; my awakening is yonder.

Stop! Come back! Wait!
Why is it that from me you alienate?
Why do you not look like my special stranger?
Is this because you are not my special stranger?
Ow! Stop! You’re hurting me!
This feeling is painful and eerie.

Your fangs bare sharpness.
Your heart bares emptiness.
Your face is now becoming clear?
Your eyes are now so familiar…
Your touch is so forceful and different.
All along did you truly seek my abolishment?

I knew you were never my guardian angel.
My breath is weak, yet you continue to strangle.
You are nothing more than a stranger; who’s not so special after all.
You are my stalker; who shows himself only after nightfall.
I see, so now you want my soul?
I’ll give yours back, but I want control.
To die in ones slumber…
Is my fate to go deeper than umber?
Or must I remain here forever?
I see, well aren’t you clever.”

I will become your special stranger;
Keeping you from anything but danger.
