A coward, if only I could change it To create the letters given to you By a shrew and the punching bag he hit. You called it worthless, yet I had no clue. They came to you with slight hesitation Yet no amount of love or light had power To stop your fear of the situation, And to keep you safe locked in their towers. I watched you hang in their arms, no fighting Glare in your eyes, but an "I love you" spilled Silently behind closed doors, more hiding Even when we had been exposed and killed. I will see you soon, but where could I start? You've forgotten how much you stole my heart.
I still can't find the right collection Of syllables and schemes to capture Who you were to me. I'm sorry.
