Sickness

I'll wipe away the fever from your head
Pull up the blanket closer to your chin
I'll let the blinds bring sunlight to your bed
Quiet all sounds around so you can mend
I'll watch you toss and turn within your sleep
And hush a restful calm into your ears
Rush out to soothe the baby when he weeps
So you will not be woken by his tears
I'll wipe away the illness from your heart
So you can breathe and feel like you again
It's possible to feel while we're apart
A healing touch from me upon your skin
But when the illness in your soul takes flight
I'm still sick from the memories of our fight
