(Im imagining like infinite darkness Leon also OC is named Lyra)
I sit and watch you reading with your head low.
Lyra sat at the table across from Leon he was reading some kind of mission report "is the dinner good?" She asked he just nodded. "How was work?" She was interested in his day "fine" it's the only word he's said since he got home he had been like this for weeks at this point and it was hurting her. She cleaned up after dinner washing the dishes and cleaning the table she missed when he would come up behind her while she was doing the dishes and wrap his arms around her waist kissing her neck but those days were long gone.
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed.
She always wakes up before him to watch him sleep peacefully. It seems like the only moment she gets to be happy now and days. After about 30 minutes she gets up making him coffee and breakfast she sits and waits at the table for him when he walks in he gets his coffee and breakfast sits at the table and eats without one word to her. It breaks her heart he doesn't appreciate her anymore. He gets up gets ready and heads for the door "bye love" she forces a smile all he does is nod.
Wait by the door like I'm just a kid
It's the same routine every day she makes dinner, lays the table and waits for him. She's sitting watching the door. He walks in sets his things down and sit at the table. She forces a smile as always and stands up to get his food she sets it infront of him pressing a kiss to his cheek "you want some wine?" She ask "no I'm good" he says not even looking at her.
I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it.
"What happened to us?" She asked sadness in her tone. Finally he looked up at her "what do you mean?" He asked confused "it's like we're strangers you don't love me anymore. I don't think you've kissed me in weeks. You barely speak to me and don't give me that I'm just busy bullshit because that's not an excuse I have made you my temple my mural my sky now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life. Im always taking up too much space or time! You assume I'm fine but what would you do if I lied?" Her sudden outburst surprised him he was speechless "you've left us in ruins you put your fucking knife in me and removed it gain the weight of you then lose it believe me I could fucking do it" she stress of the last months pouring out "if it's in my head tell me now please tell me I've got it wrong somehow I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it" she said as tears ran down her face. All he did was look back down and continue eating.
I sit and watch you.
