There

~ This work reflects on the fact that sometimes people may be in pain without us even knowing it yet sometimes just being there for them can alleviate that pain.  I tried something new here as it doesn't really have a rhyming pattern but has more of a free style approach to it.

I can see you standing there

For I see a tear falling from you face

Your eyes fill with sorrow tonight

Yet you still put on a smile

Even though you’re torn apart inside

I wish I could be the one

To make all your fears come undone

Strip away your sorrow

Fill you with the joy you seek

But that’s only wishful thinking

For brokenness cannot heal brokenness

Until I become whole myself

All I can be is a shade to you

A shadow that can only watch over you

Feeling your pain

Hoping that you can see

That you aren’t the only one

Who is left in the dark

That hurts inside

That wants to feel more

Who has to fake with a smile

Desiring to be who you really are

To find someone who completes you

That wants to see you for everything you are inside

I am your witness

I am your ally

Always by your side

Forever your friend

I will be with you to the end
