Unwell

I watched him sleeping where he lay
                        Beneath the cool and crisp blue sheet
                        His fragile touch could not repeat
                        His eyes spoke what he would not say

                        The room seemed unfamilar now
                        Boxes and papers lined the walls
                        Rusted frames adorned the halls
                        Strange photos remained only for show

                        When I tried to care for him
                        He turned his heart away from me
                        I fought the tears and let him be
                        And watched him fall asleep again

                        He closed his eyes and I could tell
                        My love was sick, tired and unwell
