midnight poems

broken

i'm flying high at the sound of your laugh
i was afraid you'd forgotten how to
when you smile that genuine smile of yours
i don't want it to disappear

you've saved me so many times
but can i save you from this wildfire
that is engulfing all of your happy thoughts
can i save you before you're completely aflame

i remember the day we met
your bright face, happy eyes
oh how times have changed
oh how you've changed 

the circles under your eyes
get darker and darker by the day
and i blame myself
for you being this way

your life keeps throwing bad things at you
and i can only shield you for so long
what will happen
when i break as well
