I take your strife
with me
to bed at night-
I lay down
with tears
of sacrifice…

I battle
inner sanction
~I scream~
for your peace
In all of damnation-
I litigate need…

I swallow
your dreams
of bad harmony-
I consecrate
heartache
with blessed
sanctity…

I touch
upon secrets
inside your mind-
I cleanse
all the wounds
you try to hide…

I repair
from within-
this backwards
disease,
I give you
bold shoulder
you may
lean on me…

for someone *very* close to my heart...

wow..........

Do I dare to look at whats really there,
Will I be burned?
I cant see past all the pain and torture that goes on in the places we call,
home.

Sometimes? Just the offer of a shoulder is enough to make you stand straighter.

You are a beautiful friend for the pure spirit of compassion that shines through this--gracious, touching and YES, sweet!

An emotionally strong and dependable lady I could infer from here! Your friend is so fortunate to have your shoulder to lean on.  What a powerful poem you've just written.
