To be seen

You discern the thoughts I’d never thought to have carried in my tone-
in my eyes perhaps 
but few thought to look beyond a glance
Not you 
You fought and sought the thoughts that taught my heart to hide from fear
And softly wiped my tears 
Before they’d even thought to form
And spoke gently in my ear
‘I am near’
