“Never leave me and I promise to help you,”
He whispers as he tries to ease her pain,
She spontaneously bursts into tears
They both know it’s a deal she can’t take.
Things are so different in the black of night.
A different world than the harsh light of day.
He finds the strength to hint what he feels,
She lacks the strength to say anything.
Her pain subsides, and they settle back in,
Next to each other but each one alone still,
Morning light will drown out the darkness as
This chapter in their lives resumes to a close.
