Everytime I look at you
my heart breaks
as tears run down your face
I remember a lifetime ago
When I could make them disappear
and the hope that I gave you
shined in your eyes
and kept your soul alive.
The days where everything was lost
I came to your rescue
and showed you what it means
to take each deep breath
as if it were your final one.
In the darkest corners of your mind,
where tranquility dare not show its face,
I did not leave you
for abandoning you in this anguish
is not on my list of options
Because to give up on you
would be giving up on love
and that is a risk
I never shall take.
