Rubens Love

I have your Love in my care he sleeps sweetly, soundly he knows he is safe as I cover him and kiss his hair. The two of us witnessed you at your last the ones you loved most the ones you held closest not knowing we would be trapped in the past. How sore and bitter is my broken heart your oblivion meant so much more you craved a darkness we didn't share your Demons did their best to keep us apart. I feel you in the room, sitting so closely I can feel your heartbeat as you say You were why I could leave watch over my Love, for he is the best of me.

'Your Demons did their best to keep us apart" Wow. This is so powerfully bittersweet with such huge depth of loss.
