Who Will Balm

To my tired bones
To my aching flesh
To my shredded heart 
Who will  calm & balm

To my wounds afresh
To my heart in distress
To my very being ,to my longings
Who will soothen  & balm

I'm broken down shattered 
I can't think upright want love badly
I wait every night passionately wondering 
Who will lend balm to calm

Who will wrap my broken heart in linen
Will someone mend it!
Or just hold me tight ?
I'm broken 
But repairable
Could you care a little
Or am I a  hopeless case........!
