He Is My Daddy

Blade in her hand
She can't breathe 
Her vision is darkening 
She has lost all hope
No one is there to help her to cope
But just before the blade reaches her wrist
Big warm arm wrap around her frame
Big warm arms lay their claim
These arms hold her tight saying she is mine 
The owner of theses arms reassures she is fine 
Her breathing slows 
She drops the blade
Her vision does not fade
She is safe
He is here
Who is she 
Who is he
She is me 
And
He is my daddy
