Because You Slept In My Arms Poem by Emma Woods

Because as you slept I stroked your hair and cherished the warmth beside me
You never knew but it is the truth I kissed your lips just lightly
I pulled away and I smile to say you whispered my name so slightly
And as I slept I dreamt of you of the kiss you always deny me
When the rose has no thorn and birds have no wings
What is to become of survival? ?
For when a heart's broke and torn dishivelled and worn
WQhat is to become of one's sorrow? ?
If your heart's reborn then I'll have you by dawn
Just breathe my name while you're cradled
And leave not a sign that we've layed here before
We'd have done it again by tomorrow
