Poem
I sit with you in uncomfortable silence as your mind rips itself apart. I feel your sorrow deep In my own heart. I hold your hand as the pain and darkness dims your eyes. I yearn to soothe your silent cries. I watch in helplessness as you struggle with demons I cannot help you fight. I try to assure you that things will be alright. I try to stop your worries and calm your fears. I try to make you laugh, to stanch your unseen tears. I try to play the role of guardian of your heart, remaining unflappable when the world threatens to rip us apart. I try to be enough for you, constantly proving my Love is true. Some days I can be all that you need me to be, The behind the scenes hero that no one can see. I’m trying to keep afloat, while I feel like I’m going to drown, I laugh haughtily that nothing can bring me down. I hold steadfast as my own storm brews deep inside. I smile when I want to hide. I stand strong against the winds of the gale that threaten to overtake me I pretend nothing can shake me. I hold firm as I walk over my own cataclysmic cliff. I seamlessly mend my own jagged rift. I am broken, I am bent, I am lost, I am spent. I wish I had all the answers you seek, I wish I was strong, instead of weak. I wish my Love was Enough I wish I could be your safe haven when the seas are rough. I wish you to know I love you through light and darkness. I wish you to know I am here for you in joy and starkness. I will sit with you in the dark until the light shines through. I will be there, because I love you.
