Author's Note
This is sleep irony: the persona offers consolation to the lonely night in exchange for a kiss. The persona will safeguard the night until danger has passed. This link (copy-paste into your browser) takes the reader to a more decipherable page for ease of reading: http://mydo.cx/MmZiNjUw

Indeed, snugglebuck! If night cannot console the sleepless, then the awake might as well safeguard the night. The irony is that the apparent victim has become the benevolent by a complete role reversal.

Thank you, Firebyrd. Yes: a lullaby. I was hoping it would breathe an atmosphere of comfort both for the consoler and the disconsolate.
