the nature of pain

 
harmonizing in somber tones
it's the melody of your soul you know
filling me with the pain of your loneliness

you never utter a word
but your ache sings to me of emptiness
I keen with my own song

caressing you with my brokenness
my small offering of understanding
fractured hope is beautiful
it reflects all the colors of feeling

I keep coming back because you are gem
filling your core with sexual release
still something is missing

with your honesty you tell me to stay back
you're hurting and it's breathtaking to watch you suffer
I come close when you need me
but you're like me, my pride won't let you touch

it's all to intimate the way I feel
I don't cuddle I like my space
something about you allows you to come closer than most

your incredible patience encourages me
you've walked fearlessly into my darkness
you never judge me, it's with love you accept me
I've pushed you away more than once and you pushed back
