Come to me; let me hold you for a while,
You don’t have to be afraid, not when I am here,
I will kiss your tears away, silence your fear –
Your heart beats painfully, deep inside of you,
Let’s talk, say any thing, any thing at all,
If you crumble, there’s no where to fall –
Never to worry, I am still here,
To pull you up to your feet again…
Let’s walk for a while,
With no destination in mind,
Just listen to our footsteps and the rhythm of our breath –
Stand so close I can read your thoughts,
Just by your body language and the emotion in your eye,
You may look so calm right now, but deep inside you cry,
Have I told you it is okay?
It is okay to cry, to want to be sad, to feel broken
But never leave those feelings unspoken…
It will rip you apart and steal your will,
Your will to be happy, to smile, to want to live,
To laugh, to love, to forgive,
I know you still want to be strong,
You don’t have to pretend for me,
For no one because you are the same,
Same as anyone else,
But it is fine to be weak,
Even if you are shamed, you still need to speak,
Let’s sit here, just here, forget about what is behind us,
There’s always time to go back,
But for now, only here matters,
You only matter…
So, come to me; let me hold you for a while.
Author notes
Again, for you. I know you don't want to talk just yet, but this is a way for me to express to you all I want to tell you. When you ready, I am here
Please tell me what you think

Katrina... It is nice to find that somebody else has a voice willing to comfort him. I am afraid for him because he seems so very lost to me sometimes. I suppose he shall be well, but it is frightening that he is trying so hard to hide from me. Even knowing what I know, I understand that there is more he is not telling me. I am forever searching for the words to open him, so that perhaps we can help share his burden. This poem is beautiful. You write so eloquently, I do not know how he could reisist this poem. Another beautiful write- I have been neglecting your words. Perhaps I shall have to spend today making up for lost time.

Hey Hun...I do not really know what else to do but to write it out because if I come out and ask straight up he withdraws what pain I saw before and replaces it with his perfect presentation of what I want to see and sets himself up to convince me that what I think I saw was not actually there, I have not actually spoken to him in a few days, but I know he has a new job and is most likely busy with that (and you of course). I know you are with him often and if you could get him to really open up that would do him so good. If find that if I catch him late before he goes to sleep he is much more willing to talk. Haha, maybe he just doesn't realize what he's saying.
And he resists because he's a stubborn bastard that we all love. And I am sorry to disappoint but I have not written a lot of new things, been very busy with the crazed animal child I must raise. She jumped off the stairs yesterday...I am not sure why she felt the need to do so...but it was both frightening and amusing.
I love you, take care!!
love,
Katrina

Great piece, I haven't spoken to him in a while but hopefully I get the chance to while I have some time off, maybe he'll say something that will shed some light on what's going on. I don't like that he's depressed/different whatever, he's a strong bastard so what ever is bothering him must be serious. I'll let you know if I find out anything. Later sis.

This is lovely. Just like you. I'd ask you to tell me what is going on, but obviously you don't know and he's not telling. *sigh* Well, if you do find out, let me know, I'll try to help where I can. I love you so much Katrina, this is an amazing piece of work and it is so eloquent and beautiful.
love,
Alexis

I care so much about you, I'm always here if you need me. You and I spoke extremely early this morning and you seemed very out of it, are you alright? You didn't seem like yourself...

Oh. Yes, I am alright, I have been having quite a horrible headache since early this morning. I do hate to say that I do not remember much of any that we spoke about, perhaps I was just very tired. But, do not worry, I am fine. I must go lay down for a bit now, I shall speak with you soon.

I definitely think that you should go rest, get some sleep worthy of more than a few hours at a time. You don't remember most? Well, at least you remember some of what we talked about. I love you, you might be coming down with something so make sure you drink a lot of fluids and eat regularly for the love of God, you are the worst person I know who actually - forgets - to eat. Talk to you soon!
