And I will continue to watch even though the muted hallway lights are playing tricks with my eyes. I swear I can see demons skittering about, trying to disturb you.
You might have thrown me out of your room but I don’t go very far.
I can’t and won’t.
Don’t you remember we took an oath the day we became partners? That oath was reinforced with a rain of bullets. So it doesn’t matter what you throw at me or what you say I am going to stay close to you; even if that is standing at your door watching through the night and protecting.
And I will continue to watch even though the muted hallway lights are playing tricks with my eyes. I swear I can see demons skittering about, trying to disturb you.
Yet you sleep, and I am grateful.
You sleep, because I can tell the sounds you make. We’ve been together so long that I know every sound, every whimper every movement…the slightest twitch. You sleep and like the good soldier that I am, I will keep watch for those demons that threaten your peace.
Nothing will pass.
I long to touch you; to take you in my arms and make this whole nightmare disappear like autumn leaves in a gale to be swept away out of existence. I long to take you in my arms; to hold you to me, to feel your hot tears upon my chest… Give me your tears…I want them all.
But you won’t let me.
It’s all I ask…given them to me freely, knowing that what has happened to you is so terribly hurtful to me. Please babe, let me be a comfort to you…let me be your shelter from the storms in your life…
Let me be your refuge, let me in.
