I Always Dreamed

I didn't mean to tuck you in

so tight beneath my ribs.

Now every breath 

and every heartbeat

hurts.

I didn't know I'd stay awake

this late.

A box is too small

to contain you,

These words are too weak

 to explain you.

I still can't sleep,

and you're a dream away.

I always dreamed,

I always dreamed you'd stay.
