La Douleur Exquise

The world I cannot give to you,
Yet let me hold you close when you’re blue…
Hear your rants and fear
Let you be the center of this sphere
I’ll see through your hood of perfection
Through your imperfection I’ll find connection
In the sea of lies; I’d rebuild your faith
Though that one sided love I can’t compensate
Still, be the start and end of my day,
Leave me someday but here I’ll stay.
