"I have so much to lose;
Here in this lonely place;
Tangled up in our embrace."
Here in this lonely place where the wind howls incessantly and the light never reaches the corners, she trembles, tangled in his embrace. She wonders why the fear doesn't extend to him as well. Why it is only she who feels lost, staring out the darkened window and wondering when it will all end. He shifts closer and his arms pull her back until the skin of his chest is flush with her back.
"You okay?" he whispers.
"Yeah," she lies.
He nuzzles the back of her neck and sighs. "I'm right here."
"I know."
She wonders for how long.
