She

Poem...

Been up all night

This cant be right

Cant close her eyes

Cant catch her breath

But she kisses his head whispers

Everything will be alright

Not sure if it’s a lie

She keeps making the same mistakes

But always put him first

Even if that meant to go without

Breaks down finally comes

Yells I just want out

But a stranger walks by

Showing the world isn’t all that bad

Her pride gets in the way

Every time she tries to make that call

Today she looks back

I won’t let that happen again

I know I’ve done some bad

So don’t tell me you understand

Until you’ve been in my shoes

She comes back in

Lays down on the bed

That is just for a night

Looks at him and whispers

I will keep you safe
