i dreamt i saw you

and you were happy

but part of me died with your sadness

but don't call me cruel

i've grown very used to being needed

as your soldier

to the end

i like to keep you

nestled beneath me

for security

but you're not happy

i dreamt i let you

decide to leave me

it wasn't worth it

you didn't need me

don't ever tell me

there's life without me

i'd have no purpose

and still feel empty

i like to keep you

nestled beneath me

for security

but you're not happy
