empathy

let me come and weep beside you.

there now, where are your tangles of pain?

give me your knots. lemme take your bitter bite and honey it with language.

let me comfort you with tea, with liquor and 'what-the- fucks'.

let me say 'oh' as you unravel your ache

let me walk beside you in the heavey dark.

let me put my lantern out as well so we can sit together in the blessed black.

we well be so still,

let me take your inner child in my arms,

and let me lift them up as well.
