Opening His Pain

He steps on stones of green,

But they do not break.

Remembering hard things.

Tears have subsided a century ago,

But I intend to keep on running,

To push these leaves out of the ground,

And form them into beautiful flowers.

He is delicate though,

And so I must wait,

Until he has lifted his pressure,

Until he finds a middle ground.

Then I can press my hand against his heart,

And hear the pain,

And try to remove it,

And replace it with me.

If only he could let me in.

If only I was love.
