It Hurts
Wasn't she supposed to be the strong one?
And yet she sits there weeping..
Wasn't I supposed to be sleeping?
Perhaps I should intervene,
but I'm not as strong as I may seem.
Their clashing yell,
leaving me an empty shell.
We've done this many times before,
it's left me all sore.
Wasn't she supposed to be the strong one?
Their anger quakes,
and my heart breaks...
My soul is broken,
all but spoken.
I listen in the quiet dark,
to words that should only be owned by a ravenous shark.
My breath picking up speed,
and them leaving me to bleed.
Wasn't she supposed to be the strong one?
So by the end,
when you descend.
I will hold your hand as you cry,
I'll release a painful sigh.
You were supposed to protect ME.
But there you whisper, "Let it be."
So I'll hold you all night.
Until there is light.
