Whitney

 
I carry you in my soul
gently, so you will know I love you

within a sanity of thought
my keening went silent
when I heard your song
I felt the hurt you carry alone

so with a tenderness, I pick you up
and took part of the weight
so you wouldn't feel so lonely

knowing inside I felt the same
pieces of me rise in the atmosphere
rise, to greet your pain

I put aside my emptiness
so I could comfort you
you need a friend inside the numb
the dark seeks to swallow you

I came to see you through
our twinning souls overcome
with an understanding

with the knowledge we don't walk alone
