Once more
today
again
I feel it
like a memory
soft and not even really there

It wraps itself
like a cloak around me
Hiding, sheltering my most tender spots

The rain, it does not wet me
The pain it does not hurt me
You protect me
as if I were some priceless diamond
encrusted in the purest gold
But I am not

But you make me feel as though I were

You turn me into the princess
I want to be

You get down on your knees
worshipping me
I feel just like a goddess
and because of you
I am
