Forever

I watched as you slept, 
So peaceful, so sound, 
Yet I knew it was just a matter of time. 
They would come; they always do. 
I couldn't imagine being without you. 
I couldn't imagine them taking you back. 
So as you slept, 
I slid my pen knife into the side of your pretty head, just at the temple so as not to disturb your beauty, 
And now you're always with me; 
Now you'll never leave.
