Wilt

Her eyes told stories of distraught
Of things the world often forgot
He wanted to wrap her up so tight
To keep her safe from the darkest night

But she was too far out of reach
Out of sight, out of speech
So he kept away from her troubles
In his own bubble

They say it was for the best
Their true feelings expressed
But he always felt guilt
For just watching her wilt
Away and away into the night
