I Don't Sleep Well

This morning I'm up
before I want to be.
Thoughts keep me
from peaceful rest.
It is not about me
yet it is
as a sit with information
I never wanted
access to.
I would die
a thousand times
to save you
from the wrath
the hell and the fury
that consumed you
in its' smoldering flame
but I am only here
to bare witness.
It is not my place to
sacrifice myself
it is you that was
forced to do it instead.
The least I can do
is help you carry
the burden, with
a willingness
that knows
no bounds.
