The Watcher


I watch you as you sleep

Wondering if tomorrow will bring you peace

I grieve for you


I watch you as you laugh

Wondering if it will be the last

I love you


I watch you as you speak

Wondering if the words will come

I am inspired
 

I watch you as you roam

Wondering if you are looking for home

I miss it too


I watch you as you walk

Wondering how you bear the pain

I hurt for you


I watch you as you sleep

Wondering if tomorrow will bring you peace

I mourn you
