To Watch the Suffering

To Watch the Suffering

Stone solid I stay
Timid to breath
Frightened to act
So I watch the suffering

Pain for pain
I feel for her
Enduring in part
All that is incurred

I wish her the best
In this trial at face
Waiting to offer
My warm embrace

But if this is not
What she truly desires
I shall retreat to shadows
Of the ever-burning fires

A love forgotten
I wish to be seen
By the love of my life
My eternal queen

So I wish her the best
In the rest of her days
No matter what happens
Even if we part ways

Be strong, my love
These words I shall sing
Standing behind
To watch the suffering
