For You
How am I
supposed to
help you
when the monster
that tortures you
is just a ghost
that haunts your
mind
it can’t be killed
because it’s already
dead
How am I supposed
to help when your
pain
is in the past
I can’t go
back and take
it away but I sure
as hell wish that I
could if just to
make one day
less painful
Why should you
suffer more than
you already have
it, they, hurt
you and yet it
comes back wanting
more
more pain
more blood
more tears
How is it fair
that this chain
is embedded in your
skin and no one
not me
not your therapist
not even you
can dig it out
all you have left
is to feel the shackles
as it tugs at your
heart and it
breaks mine
and yes
tomorrow could be better
but today shouldn’t
have to hurt as
much as it does
you shouldn’t have to
carry the weight
of it all on your own
when the weights shouldn’t
be there at all
they had their time
they weighed you down once
who gave them the
right to stay
So let me
carry some
I won’t try to fix it
I won’t try to cure you
because there is nothing to
cure because love,
you are not broken
just tired so
hand me your yoke
let me shoulder the
burden for the
next few miles
I can take it
when you can’t
But I understand wanting to
carry it alone
so if you don’t want my
help lifting
then I will shout from
the sidelines
encouraging every step
hoping that words
may be enough
at least for now
and I know you’re getting better
even if I haven’t
seen the progress myself
I know you are
so strong and that
you can handle anything
love, but just remember
you shouldn’t have to
that you can
ask for help
I will always
do as much
as I can because
For you
Almost anything
