Can I trust you with my pain?
To treat it with kindness and respect?
To listen to it,
So I can speak the unspoken?
Will you help me catch my tears as the floodgates open?
Swim with me to the unknown?
Save me from drowning in my sorrow?
If I entrust you with my grief,
Will you help me take care of it?
Console it?soothe it?make it feel safe?
Will you accept it as a gift to be protected?
I feel my need and fear it,
As I fear all that I do not understand
Yet i ask you to be with me,
For I am tired of walking alone.
