What I Ask of You

You may be tired of hearing it, and don't want to listen anymore. If that is the way that you feel, please, just walk out the door. I need someone who will listen, when I reach out to share. A friend who can feel compassion, and I can count on to be there. I know that it may not be easy, to be a friend of mine. I need to let this play out. Erase it, then rewind. Something has happened to me, that I am working through. I need understanding and support, That is what I am asking of you. If you care enough to stay around, while I continue to work this out. Could you stay for the duration, and encourage when I am in doubt? Please don't judge me, you don't know what I have been through. Maybe just ask this question, "what can I help you do?" My answer, " just be there for I may stumble and fall. Please reach out to steady me. Be my friend, that is all."
