- Come here, rest your head on my chest and just let me hold you for a bit.
- Hmm, that nice when I stroke your hair?
- Mmmmmm I know, I know
- I know that you miss them,
- I know about the lump that blocks your throat and wont let you get words out, the hollow ache that fills your chest and makes it hard to breathe, the burning in your eyes before you blink it back,the split second in the morning when you wake and think about them then the sick feeling that takes over when you remember they’re gone.
- I know you talk softly to their picture and touch a finger to their face.
- I know the empty exhaustion you feel, but I know you can’t sleep.
- I know you lie awake in the night, covers pressed tightly to your mouth so you won’t be heard as tears burn into the pillows
- but sweetheart I’m awake with you.
- I know you could always go there; it was the only place you felt safe, your haven from harsh words and harsher hands. [you can leave it at your haven if you want]
- All the times you ran there, to escape, to share your joy over something, that you got respite, that you laughed and let your guard down there playing over and over and you feel scared there’s no-one there now, you feel lost. I know you'd give anything for just a few moments more.
- I know that you are locking it all away, putting on a mask, going through the motions, doing everything you need to do, looking after everyone else and push everything down until you can fall apart when you are alone.
- But I know you aren’t alone. I know that you are safe and loved, oh so loved. I see how much you’re hurting. You’re safe in my arms, You don’t have to hide, you don’t have to pretend, you don’t have to fight the tears, you can talk about them and when you break down I will hold you up.
- Because I am yours and you are mine. And together we will get through.
