He couldn't get the darkness out of his mind
no matter what she said.
Fear after fear crept cornering him
while he'd lie in his bed.

Her words silenced one,
but then came along another.
Some that last time had ended them...
Sending him into the arms of another lover.

Running from the love she gave him
that was unconditional.
Running from the fear of past convictions
that she knew were all fictional.

He was made to feel and believe
so many terrible awful things.
All she wanted and dreamed about
was taking away his pain.

She always waited for him to come back to her.
She knew she could be everything and more.
That she could be what he deserved.
