I'm here, my friend

Place it here, this angst, this pain

hidden beneath you

you carry the spite

of wrongful gain

place it here,

within me,

to hold the burden

of which has stolen your light

taking it in, myself

to buckle down

under chains intertwined,

captured

in the tormented minds

of the unfaithful

bare it down

pass it along

place your heavy heart

on the ground stone

of our friendship

entrust in me,

to nurture this bereavement

absorbing it, I vow

to sooth it smooth

into silken cashmere

of which I will tuck you in

safely

under softness

New
