Can you ever learn
To love a soul
So restless
That you will have to
Wake in the night
To make the dark cloud
Disappear from their mind
That makes them
Toss and turn in their sleep
Can you live knowing
That every time they
Take a breath they are wanting
To die
Can you grow a garden
In their psyche and keep
Away from the deadly thorns
That try to overgrow it
Can you hold them tight
Like ivy to the side
Of a house
Can you help them
To become them again
