I yearned to bring you promise

I could hear your sorrow,
flowing through the night
Liberated within the darkness
so secure, and yet uncertain

Isn't ignorance the sweetest bliss?
You were always one to protect me
So compelled to shield
my heart from fracture
To preserve it's innocence
But can't you see this is in vain?
Your heart became my own
Therefore,
already broken long ago

Now I can feel you sobbing
You haunt me in my wake
I lay in torment of your secret
I can hear it pounding in my head
And when the sun rises,
oblivious once again
I know you'll greet me with a smile
All will be forgiven
since 'we' are dying
And for your comfort,
I'll pretend to maintain my ignorance.

I didn't sleep that night
as harsh realizations began to unfold
My eyelids refused to surrender
to the inevitable

I didn't dare.
