iii.

does it make you feel better
to pretend it's okay?

chest to chest
cheek to cheek
i'll whisper sweet words
bathe you in adoration
would it make you happy
if i sang you to sleep?

i'll listen to your steady breathing
press my back against your chest
hide tear stained cheeks;
sorrow buried into my pillow

i'll let your arm drape over me
i'll hold your hand to my heart
you sound so peaceful when you're sleeping
you could fool me into feeling safe

does it make you feel better
to pretend we're okay?
