The tears
Drop from your eyes
Like water from the sky—
Silent, endless,
A language all their own.
There are thousands of words
To describe what you're truly feeling,
Yet not one
Can roll from your lips
The way
"I love you" once did.
That feeling you had
Feels like an eternity away—
A distant echo
Compared to the ache
You carry every day.
Lend me your hand—
Step by step,
We'll walk the sand
Alongside the water at the beach,
Letting the waves
Wash over what hurts.
I'll console you,
Help push you through;
This feeling shall pass,
Like your first crush
In elementary school,
Or that movie
You used to love—
Now just a memory
Without a name.
Let me be the medicine
That numbs your pain,
Let me be your friend.
And when the clouds clear,
When the sun returns,
Just please—
Remember my name.
I don't think I'm asking for much—
But when the pain is over,
People tend to forget
The growing pains.
You did it for me,
So allow me to do it for you.
Instead of
Weed,
Liquor, or pills,
Or
Sex with strangers—
Take my hand.
Let me be the anchor
When you're drifting,
The gentle voice
That calls you home.
We can carry the weight together,
And when you're ready,
We'll step into the light—
Not as who we were,
But as who we can become.
