Tired Eyes
(This was written by @voiceinthewind and I)
He looked over at me with tired eyes
The same tired eyes I fell in love with long ago
He whispered something in my ear
His hot breath sent shivers down my spine
I rested my head on his shoulder
I wish I could comfort him
I wish I could take away his pain
But there's nothing I can do
So I dare not break the silence
I decide to enjoy the quiet moment
Before circumstance takes him away from me
I don't know what I'll do when he's gone
So I try and stay in this moment
I notice how slow his breathing is
As if he is in a deep sleep
He seems calmer than he should
His lack of movement is concerning
He suddenly moves his hand
And I'm jolted back to reality
I will not let him leave this house
