I even worry when I'm lost in dreams
The checkered tile scene
Her skin a marble sheen
Held close to him with hands autumn hued
Swearing softly You'll make it through
I wake to chills and breathing next to me
And feel my fears reprieved
So long as you're with me
You're safe but it's becoming so clear
That I've become your full-length mirror
When we first met you were the lowest low
That you had ever known
Wishing you weren't alone
Soon enough we came all entwined
Hearts and sadness so aligned
Caught between new love and old heartache
A wish you could remake
The last mistake you made
Shackled brokenwings couldn't fly
Leave you crying but you'll get by
And you know I would spend the longest while
On crazy plans so I could see you smile
To have your heartbeatfast or beat at all
To have you near as mine falters and falls
The evening you say you might soon be gone
Tired of being strong
Can't let this bleak drag on
I beg you wait with me just one night
Stay with me, don't fade to white
And I won't promise that you'll be okay
But spend just one more day
Before you go away
Come to bed unwrinkle your brow
Slow your breath and you're fine for now
And as your eyes close and your worries flag
I see I might be fucked up just as bad
But so long as you're sleeping next to me
I don't have leave to let my worries free
She starts awake to find that he is gone
The bathroom light is on
And trying to be calm
She holds him close with hands autumn hued
Swearing softly You'll make it through
I awake to find a dream unplayed
But in the dark afraid
Of mistakes I've yet made
I take you softly into my arms
Neither so safe, but each other warm
