Stay

I’ll lie down

beneath you

I will be your bridge to happy

I’ll not complain

beneath the weight 

of your heavy load

If I can

I’ll carry all your unbearable

relentless burdens 

for you 

I’ll be there

to soothe.... you

when you loose control

I will cry

the tears

that you’ve suppressed

for you.

I will feel 

the hurt 

that you can’t feel 

but... give

I will 

swallow 

all of your lonely... 

though it’s so raw and painful

I will give 

you reasons  

so you

will want to 

live 

I’ll not sleep

to ward away

your night-terror demons 

I’ll be there

to find you

when you

are lost

and cannot find your way 

I’ll be there

to scream at when life’s cruel....

 and just too painful  

I’ll be there

to forgive you 

to remind you 

we’ve always a new day

I’ll be here

to take your loss 

and the rejection

I’ll be here 

to feel unworthy 

so that you don’t

I’ll be here 

to love you 

unconditionally 

I’ll am here 

to stay 

even if you tell me 

that I shouldn’t 

All I ask 

is that you

STAY 

... don’t break further, my tired old, fragile heart
