Our love is the language
Of tortured souls.
The poetry of goodbyes
And goodnights,
And I pen every single
Word.
I fell in love with the hope
In your eyes,
And the shadows of your
Smile.
I fell in love with that broken
Heart of yours.
And when your tears
Fall,
I’ll wipe them with the
Back of my hand
And kiss your pain
Away.
I’ll stay up all night
To hear your story,
And listen to the words
You don’t say.
Because your darkness
Is beautiful to me,
And I want to walk with
You into the night.
I’m not afraid of what’s
To come,
Because I have lived in
Nightmares and am
Ready for dreams to be
Made with you.
