When I lay down my weary head, I remember what scares me, where it hurts.
Having you carry the weight of all my love and trust,
Knowing how easy it is for you to leave me.
You say you wont and I hope you dont
But it's scary knowing that at any moment,
It could be because I stumbled on my words, or
You'd just grow tired of carrying around all of my broken pieces, wrapped up in a thin sheet of paper
Just like the one we used when you so callously shined and stole my heart in the background.
My perpetrator became my protected, her laugh under the moonlight became my muse.
