Because I’ve Known Your Broken Soul

Strong personality and vulnerable soul
In your sleep, I have seen you roll
Till midlife crisis, you had a favorite doll
Without rosemary tea, you lost control
Bravery you projected, with an odd hyperbole

Methodical you were, adjusted your goal
Your fears were not unknown to Nicole
I cherished when you discovered her role
I have seen your most secret mole
There was a time when you were a troll
I have seen you fragmented and whole
You have grown to a horse from a foal
I know you at the best of all
I recognize you at the worst of all
You are my comfort and my dole
Let’s keep growing to the last ball
Comfortable I will be, in the role
Because I’ve known your broken soul
