Like a thief in the night,

You came.

You pulled the wool

Over my eyes,

But I was too trusting

To see you

For who you really were

It felt like a dream 

Come true.

The rest of the world

Seemed to fade away

Whenever we're alone,

Under the night's sky,

Coupled with the whooshing

Of the wind.

Swaying to the tune

Of the instruments you loved to play,

Which you used to 

Win me over

On that fateful day.

I just wished I saw it.

Then I would have stopped

Myself from taking

A horrible step

You broke my heart with your shouts,

But always restored me

With the gentle touch of your hands

On my bruised cheeks,

Which hurt because of the pain

You inflicted on them.

A thousand tiny needles

Piercing my heart

Yet, I kept my mouth shut.

I spoke not of what I was feeling

But of what was allowed.

Right now, I feel it's too late,

To go back in time,

To change my decision,

Because we've had our last meal

Now there's nothing left to do,

But wait
