When you couldn’t cope I came to your side
I tried to soak up the tears with my porous words
To absorb your sadness sketched across your face
Your lips form words in a way that makes me sad.
When you walk, shadows follow you even in the dark
You keep your head low and follow the feet of those in front
Recognise the beauty my saccharine thing
Lift your head up and laugh, smirk and dance
I dare you to smile, to look at me with
Those great big eyes that envelope me entirely
