You are hurting
I can feel your heart bursting
I have watched your sleepy bones
and I have heard the way they groan,
draining your very core
until you cannot stay awake anymore.

Believe me,
if I could find a way to give you my body,
I would cease to exist.

The world has much
more need of you
The only grace in
life I have is you.

I miss you when you rest,
but I know it is for the best.

You are not as young as you once were
and all you ever feel is hurt.

I have watched your sleepy bones

and I have heard the way the groan.

If you need me to, I will carry you.
