"it's late,"
you whisper,
rolling over in bed
your eyes are tired
your eyes are red

"i'm sorry,"
i mumble,
though it's not fully true
i'd rather be miles away
i'd rather never face you

"i'll see you tomorrow?"
she'd asked with a smile,
hoping that i'll stay
she ran her hands though my hair
she ran my heart astray

"goodnight,"
i sigh,
disappearing back into my head
it's hard to feel faithful
it's hard when love is dead

//Low-key still in a Crucible mood so this is sorta John Proctor-y//
