Each night as he closes his eyes to rest his mind She opens hers, flickers of light flow into his dreams It is she that stood holding him tight, keeping worries away Yet, the rule has changed, now she needs his strength Not a word is said about her, she is everything and nothing Her pain, sorrow, grief and burden cannot compare For his victory, success, knowledge and joy Is to be her reward, so she waits, dies a bit more Every day that passes is harder than the one before The glitter and gold slowly fade from her soul She wants, needs nothing more than his smile Colors, sure, she always speaks of them for that is her Those hues that combine into the path of their existence Where she sits dressed in black is where she is for now She has broken the rule, the one that brought her to him She has fallen in love and now she weeps for he does not Too busy to see that it was her not the crowd that cheered The eternal struggle, the cold rain, the sound of echos She is here and will remain until he awakes to soothe her pain That day will come, she has no doubt for although he does not say He too has fallen with her, this has just begun, makes no sense None at all, that is what keeps them coming back.. home
