That Dark Corner



Lovely strength.
Great endurance through all the pain.
 Nothing could stop me from protecting you.
You're my sister, but not by blood.

You've helped me through my own pain;
It's time for me to return the favour.
I'll support you...
Try to never leave your side.

Do my best to comfort you...
I'll cry for you...
Take away the pain.
I'll slowly die for you.

I'll cry in your place.
You're my sister and I won't leave your side.
I'll stay with you in the dark corner...
I'll cry my eyes out with you.

Never leave your side.
Ever.
