Don't Cry

When you cry yourself to sleep

I lay awake knowing every ache

The deep breaths and sobs

Loneliness no mortal could take

 

Monsters haunt your dreams

I fight them off nightly

Protecting you from the brunt

Worth it when I see you smiling

 

Park benches at night

My favorite place to find you

A slight chill and our bodies close

In this we learn what's true

 

I'll tell the truth to you

From now until the end
