Sleeping To Ease The Pain

By deviousgirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sitting all alone,with you by my side.I watched you, curled in a ball.You slept, and I watched you.You had the look of angelic peace.I almost wanted to silence the world, for fear that they'd wake you!You twitched every now and then, I wonder could you feel me beside you?I know you slept to ease the pain.I'm sorry I couldn't help!I'd give anything to make you feel alright.I will filter out the bad, and give youwhat you need. Just come to me.I will carry on, when you find it too hard.I will pick up the pieces when thereisn't a friend in sight.I will kiss away your tears, because it pains me to watch you cry.I know you're too strong to take my hand.I know you'd rather go alone, then with me.But know I'm always their for you.I watched you as you slept, you seemed so warm, and at peace.I watched your chest rise .... and then fall.Knees curled in, and this blank expression.Your lashes spaced, and lips full. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to be with you!I love you, and the thought of you in painis too much to bear.I couldn't watch, and have no part.I layed right next to you,and slowly placed my head upon your legs.Chest rising .....and then falling.What a tranquil sight.But I know you were sleeping to ease the pain.
