Your wings wrap around my body

Through mists of

despair,

Tears rolling down my cheeks,

Yet—you ease them with care.

Your heart,

Stained with thick velvet blood,

Suffocating your limbs.

But still you smile,

Mending the wounds I carved into my skin.

You shield me

From the knives

That tear through your

Soul.

Knowing,

I wouldn’t ever manage alone.

Your pulse keeps time of the rhythm

of my breathe,

Easing the pain growing tightly

in my chest.

I hold your hand,

knowing I shall be safe,

Trusting every slightest fragile step,

We take.
