RSMS

It is dark
I stare down the empty staircase
And I imagine you sitting there
Quietly watching the passers-by

The image fades
You're gone

I remember how you ran after me
Confused why I left you
I couldn't bear to look back
Because if I did
I wouldn't be able to do
What I should

Sacrifices must be made
For the greater good
No room for selfishness

I will never get used
To nights without you snuggling against me
I will never get used
To mornings without the sweet surprises I wake up to
I can never play hide and seek with you again

I will never have again
Someone who'll answer to my call
I will never have again
Someone who'll put the childish smile on my face
Even on most troubled times

Where you are
Is far and desolate
We are too distant
To comfort each other
On empty nights
And miserable mornings

My selfishness aside...
Your safety is all I wish for.
