I carry
the weight
of your world
upon my soul
the burdens
of your life
the pain
and sorrow
I hold
the secrets
that you share
as your tears
soak into me
I carry
your happiness
your smiles
and the dreams
of your heart
no matter
the day
or time
I’ll be
right here
waiting for you

the seasons change
and winter sets in
cold soaked
down to her bones
her smile fades
oh so slowly
sleep
sleep
sleep
sweet girl
forget this dreaded world
the rain pounds loudly
against the window
silencing the pain
that screams from within
dream
dream
dream
sweet girl
let your soul free
close your eyes
and just dream

Lying here
beneath
a blanket
of promises
I make
a wish on
every single one
and they
always
lead me back

to you

she was
like the stars
that twinkled
in the night sky
bright and mysterious
not always visible
but always there

as the
moon and stars
arrive to
greet the night sky
I climb inside
another space
another time
my only wish
hanging upon
the whispers
of the universe
as I await
your arrival
I dissolve
inside another dimension

her tears
were written
onto the page
stained
like ink
filling all the
empty spaces
her words
collect
one by one
as her story
starts to unfold
shhhhh listen
to the silence
only there
will you find
her truth

the early morning
collects upon each
satisfied layer
once in dreams
now awaits
the sweet kiss
of the sun
as it begins
to awaken

words so
illusive
they bring me
to my knees
gripped by
distance so
I can’t breathe
the truth speaks
to me
so loudly
but time
and love
have already
sealed
my fate

bitter memories
come rushing
through my flesh
as I grasp
for air
to fill my lungs
silent screams
find their way
out into
darkness
where I stand
waiting
for night
to come again
