Beautiful Sleepless Pain

I sit here
and watch you
as your eyes close
and I am hypnotized
by your breathing,
in and out,
so slow and delicate
but life filling
all in one.
I brush that strand away
and curl my hand
around yours.
You're beautiful as you sleep
no pain to be seen
by me.
No pain caused by those hateful eyes
those cruel lips.
No,
see for as you sleep
you open to me
and I can see
that love
which is taken from me.
