I sometimes wonder if it's even worth it. The fights, the deafening silences, that angry look that pierces my every vein. In the beginning I would have given you every last drop of blood, if you'd only asked. Now, staring at the ceiling, listening to you dream I find the same question running through my thoughts. Do I stay? Is this all there is to life, bitter words thrown viciously across a room that I no longer think of as home? Do you dream of me anymore, the way you used to whisper my name in your sleep? I hope you do.

My thoughts are gone as quickly as they came, as you exhale and turn to face me. Soft legs sliding beneath the sheets to find my own. A sleepy smile and your hand tracing my lips is all it takes to erase the hurt I feel. If you'll keep me in your dreams like this, I'll stay until my veins bleed dry.
