my head aches at the thought of you
it has ached since i met you
i would think of you want want to protect you
i would want to keep you safe
my head would ache because i could not know if you were safe all the time.
i could not protect you,
even thought you never bothered to protect me.
there was nothing that would really hurt me.
nothing bad that came for me.
nothing you needed to protect me from,
except for yourself.
my head would ache because i missed you before, it would worry if you were okay.
now i worry if i am okay.
my head aches thinking about what you are going to do today.
my head prays you do not come home angry.
i pray that you love me today.
i pray that your hand is at least open this time, so i do not bruise.
my head hurts because it thinks too much.
you, you, you, you!
all day everyday.
ringing from ear to ear.
