Might it be foolish to wonder if my love would be...
With someone else...

I sat there and shook,
No one there to see...

I stare at the mirror
And watch myself tremble...

Ever falling leaves
Paint beauty onto pavement...

A deadpan expression lies on my face,
One I've felt solidify and claim my features...

I had told her to go upstairs and wait for me...
I told her that I had a surprise...

The faint ticks of the clock echo in the quiet,
The darkness of the night no longer cold...

Tuck the child into their bed,
So small, covered in black lace...

A soft light penetrates the otherwise dark room,
Angry lyrics begin to lull me to sleep...

Push me down
Onto the soft bed...

Whether I am alone or deep in a sea of people,
Whether it is loud or quiet...

Dazzling lights shine;
Lost in her gentle gazes...
