You can’t give away power,
Nor is it something to take.
If you feel like a child,
Perhaps that’s your own mistake.
If you feel helpless and weak,
If you feel somewhat confused,
Seek answers within you.
You aren’t being abused.
Everyone feels small sometimes,
Even when they are grown.
We all bend when we must.
We all reap what is sown.
I see through you like glass,
‘Cause I’ve been here before.
I cannot set you free,
Though I want nothing more.
I would never hold you back.
I want your dreams to come true.
Hopeless and hopeful both,
Reside deep within you.
I don’t want you shut up.
You impose that on me.
Your silence ... your refusals
Defeat my abilities.
I have never shut you out.
I am right here with you.
The walls keeping you in
Are keeping me out too.
You feel stupid without me.
You’ve sworn that I can’t change
The ‘truth’ in perception
That I can’t rearrange.
Your intelligence is bound,
Only by chains of your fears.
I’m not everyone else.
Reading that brought me tears.
You have never been lesser.
You’ve never known me to hate.
No one can be perfect.
Please, don’t say it’s too late.
Your beauty is amazing,
Both within and without you.
You can’t mean to compare
Anything that I do,
With the treatment you suffered
While you were in that mans care.
I need you to know that
Our love is far too rare,
To keep wand’ring cross purpose,
Avoiding all hard topics,
Not talking over things,
Not using our logic.
It has hurt me more than I
Could ever possibly say,
Implying I try to
Hurt you in any way.
When you’re ready to talk,
You know right where I am.
I am always here waiting.
Come back to me if you can.
