She comes to me in floods of tears
Her words tangled in her pain and anguish
She tries to act like her mum dying isn't a big deal
I've been there before
My anger and despair melt away and the week's hostility melts away
I coax her into the lounge and wrap my arms around her shaking body
I soothe her with my beautiful words and keep her heart warm with love and affection
She falls asleep on the expensive leather couch
I don't move in fear of waking her up
Fatigue comes over me and I take her in my arms and into the bedroom
Nuzzling her neck I say
"I love you and will always be there for you," I whisper but she doesn't here
I'm a coward for saying those words when she's asleep
If I say it to her when she's awake the love and affection deepens and becomes all to real
This woman has some nerve to break up my comfortable loneliness
