When I was Her Love.

When
I was
Her Love.

She smiled,
She laughed,
She told me things.

She protected me,
She fought for me.

And I,
I did nothing for her.

Nothing,
But make her cry in the middle of the night.
Make her feel as though it had been something she'd done.

I,
I didn't deserve her.
I still don't.

No one deserves,
Such an angel,
Such as herself.

The love she deserves,
Is a love unimaginable.

A love I couldn't give to her.
A love I can't give to her.

For the monster inside,
Is a monster of darkness, and lies.
The monster inside,
Being the only thing I can protect her from.

I couldn't protect her,
I couldn't fight for her,
I couldn't give her anything.

Anything,
But heartache and endless tears.

So all I have left inside,
A monster so dark and so dull,
A monster I will forever fight,
To keep away from my love.

My love,
My forever and always.
