Restrictions placed around me
Walls without weakness
Doors with locks holding strong
Windows with shutters closed
You block the light out
But you can’t put a lock on my dreams

The whole time you were hiding
I knew where you were
The whole time you were smiling
I knew you were just keeping the tears
Somewhere safe away from me
But now you know I’d die before I hurt you

And now from a distance
You’ve started to let me know you
I know you don’t trust me
But I swear my world to you
My dreams are yours too
Just please don’t take my soul away

Because even in a crowd of a thousand
I always know exactly where you are
How you’re feeling
Why you’re hurting
How to change it to make it better
If you’d only let me cry for you.

Thank goodness!
What a beautiful, tender, compassionate write!
Good to read you again, Rosie.

PS, I'll be keeping this one for my library.

Rosie, I can relate to this part of your poem
very much. My Love and I feel that way about each other.
He and I have that closeness and bond with each other.
