Willingness

I can no longer pretend to sleep
Through any of this pain
Anymore. I hope that you keep
 
Me close as I know the rain
Is coming down eventually.
Every tear will stain
 
The pillows. You are essentially
A part of me as I go through all
Of my emotions. To be confidentially
 
Sure, I cannot be when I hit the wall
And afraid of things not being right.
Will you catch me before I fall?
 
When I try to conquer and fight
Not only against myself, but against you,
Darling you need to hold onto me tight.
 
If I stumble and reach out to
Grab your hand it is my way
Of asking for help when my true
 
Words cannot come out. Stay
With me for more than just in that
Hour and short time. Things weigh
 
Heavily on my mind. Be patient in what
Will come next. You have to know
Life has a way of sometimes being flat.
 
There are days when I just want to go slow
With nothing else but just you and me.
You have to be willing to be able to show
 
Me everything. I want to see
It all because I know you are the only
One who can truly set everything free.
