I
wipe
away
the tears
that form,
and as
I do
~


I’m
fearful
you
~


~~
will see
these tears
I cry, and
know
~~

I
am
weak,
~


I
cry in
the dark at
night, hoping
you will not
hear my
sobs
~

~
you
will not
see me cry
and so I lay
hear crying my-
self to sleep and
you will never
know the tears
I cry, alone
at night
~~

Well now, this touches pretty deep inside my heart. As I believe comfort to be a gift of love and weakness an opportunity to share strength. And I see you as a woman I deeply respect with courage to be vulnerable. Well done.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I love the format..and yes..I know the feeling. For some reason we just can't show our weakness to all.
