My whispered words fall softly,
Upon downtrodden ears.
Even now I wipe away,
Your quarter crystal tears.
You come to me in the silence,
Your anguish knows no bounds.
I hold you and I love you,
Listen to your tearful sounds.
I run my fingers through your hair,
Tell you it will be alright.
Clutching you tight against me,
As you shiver through the night.
When morning comes I wake you,
Beautiful as you sleep.
I try to imagine the terrors haunting,
While you sink in dreams so deep.
I take your hand and raise you up,
And show you to the sunlight.
I hold you tightly, yet again,
You made it through another night.
I pack you up, gather your things,
The ones left laying by the door.
I whisper gently, yet again,
And pick you back up off the floor.
I can't help but help you,
Your tears scald my heart.
I can't help but hold you,
When you beg me play the part.
---------
So many nights I held your hand,
Trembling but unbroken.
I learned to love you a little more,
With every heartache spoken.
Every time you found affection,
It brought you so much pain.
I died just slightly, every time,
I watched you circle the drain.
Sometimes I spoke harshly,
And let my rage fly loose in ink.
But never did I hate you,
When you pushed me to the brink.
I'm sorry for those days of anger,
I just couldn't take it all.
Just as soon I held you close,
When you would stumble and fall.
It's been five long, painful years,
That I lived and breathed for you.
I'll still hold you, dear Madeline,
Though our time is all but through.
The pain I feel at our parting,
It tears away a part of me.
Now I must trust in you,
As I am forced to set you free.
I hope you can remember the nights,
And live them through with memory.
Remember sunlight and your daisies,
Please, live amongst life's beauty.
--------
My whispered words fell softly,
Upon your delicate ears.
I hope that I served my purpose,
Easing your midnight fears.
I ran my fingers through your hair,
I told you it would be just fine.
Clutching you tight against me,
Your tiny body trembling against mine.
You grew so much in that time,
I hope you now see the beauty of life.
Remember that I will always love you,
Forever my friend, in darkest night.
Haunted by a terror past,
Hope blooms for futures bright.
I whispered words in the silence,
Just so you lived another night.
