Matthew Brackley Poet Free verse

I Am By Your Side

I held you close.... 
For painful things you must bare 
Painful things you must share 
you cannot be alone... 
Especially when the hurt cuts deep, 
deep in to the bone 

I cannot spare you this pain 
This pain you feel inside 
But I feel it too... 
I am by your side 

From the depths of despair 
Never forget.... 
I am there 
Pain can pass.... 
It takes time to heal, 
all that you feel 

I held you close... 
These things will soon be past 
They cannot last 
The strength you have inside... 
will overcome... 
When all is said and done 
Do not fear... 
I will always be here 

Love will shine through 
I know it can 
I feel it in you 
What people say.... 
What people think.... 
Is not important 
I cannot let you sink... 
You know this is true 

For, what they see... 
Is only on the outside... 
If they only knew you... 
They would know... 
The heart inside... 
The heart glow 
This is true 
This is so 

I cannot spare you... 
This pain inside 
I cannot make it go... 
Only you know... 
I am here 
I am by your side 
I feel it too
