Please don't allow your voice to fade
Don't fall so weak to fault or blame
To give yourself reason for an end

And at the end of your low
you pin my shoulders against the mattress
Arching your frame
with your stomach pushed outward
Your head titling back
with your mouth partially open
The sounds slur and elevate slowly in volume
When you wake up
with your family gathered around
Remember that our love was true

And I will not allow you to destroy yourself



I hope that I'm not revealing too much
