I watch you sleep in my arms and I weep for you.
I weep for what will never be, for all of the things I wish to do for you, for all that we could be.
You stir slightly and tilt your face just enough for the light to catch your skin, a smile crosses my face as silent tears grace my cheeks.
In the moment as I gaze upon your slumbering form I know I would do anything to protect you, to keep you from any pain, give my life for yours
The tears stream faster, all I can think of is how much I have that I wish to give to you and how much I wish to only see your eyes aglow with happiness but you will never let me.
I caress your face tenderly as a tear strikes the back of your neck, I pull back and wipe it away before you wake and notice. I lean down and give the back of your neck a chaste kiss, a mere brush of my soft lips and inhale your soothing scent, the only thing in this dark world that is able to calm me and put me into a dreamless sleep
I try and swallow all my feelings for you and make them disappear, I watch you sleep and push them down my throat choking on them as they go. You rise and tell me u must depart, I give a brave smile, lean in and kiss your cheek and give you your hug pausing at your warmth encircling me, then pull away hesitantly and watch you drive away.
with closed eyes I feel you run down my soft skin
Betraing the numbniss i feel inside.
The moistrue on my face suprises me.
My eyes open and i stare in mute disbelif in the mirror as a current cascades down my face.
I tetativly touch one and pull away quickly
and watch in open mouth awe as more slide their way from my eyes and down my cheeks to pool under my chin and drip slowly to my shirt.
They itch me, but i make no attempt to wipe them away, i allow there gentle annoince, findng a slight comfort in it.
I feel nothing inside anymore,my thoughts are non existant but the tears, they betray some inner battle i can not detect, but can only watch as my body fights it out.
More and more come to me, i make no sound, my breathing changes not, you can tell nothing of my sadness except in my glassy tear filled eyes as they spew forth their imperfection.
Tiny little remindeds of how fragile i really am.
