Let Me Love You

A broken heart is a grievous, heavy load. Put it here on my back – that burden that is too heavy for you. For my love for you will bear it up – and you as well. It is too much for your sweet frame. And to tell all truth, it is my burden to bear. So let me love you…because I do.

The title drew me in, but I was glad it did because I wasn't disappointed in what I found in your lines. Very well written.

Hi Laura, thank you so much for the sweet comments. I'm heading over to read your work. Did you read my other poems? There are only a few on here...I'm not a proficient as others!
