As We Lay Here

As we lay here,
In the dark
The silent night creeps upon us,
I see pain and beauty so stark. 

Now we're at last together 
I take in your scent 
I relish in your breathing 
Even a gentle snore that I find endearing

You, you're everything I wanted. But not like this. 

Before this, a year of failed romance,
My love gone unreciprocated.
A fate much less painful 
Than this. 

You come to me
Not with that charming smile,
Nor with that shine in your eyes.
I can't bear your pain. 

Those sweet lips who's taste I yearned for,
Are now drawn to a grim line
That heart I always wished to be mine
Now bleeds in my hands.

I look at you now
The most beautiful thing
Yet my rose has been wilted
Damaged and pained.

The pain in your eyes
Brings tears to my own
The damage done to your heart
Is breaking mine

So we lay here
You curled up on my chest
Your trust reminding me
Of how I failed you.

Nightmares left dark circles under your eyes.
The crying left you vibrant face flush. 
Even the gentle curl in your fingers
Turned to a fearful grasp. 

If only I could have protected you

Your pain hurts me
Your fear scares me
And your trust
Is breaking me. 

I always said Id be there for you
But when you needed me, I couldn't 
Even as I say I'm here for you now,
In truth, you're here for me.
