"later part of the day, I couldn't sense even the faintest of thumping in your chest as i lay on it,
i saw your face, a cold, forced smile sat on it as your eyes spoke volumes,
you were irritated, angry, furious even, i didn't know why, i never dared to ask,
we spent all day in complete silence,
me, too scared to set you off and
you, well you, i never understood
and that day, for the first time in all the time i've known you,
the sky darkened, the moon came out, and the stars twinkled,
something as simple as night made me feel monstrous, unfamiliar emotions and as you fell asleep, i knew i had to leave"
