“

I want you to really listen

when I start to tell you

how strong your love

has made me.

Before I knew your touch,

my bones were hardly able

to support the weight

that I placed upon

my own shoulders.

A weight too heavy

to lift off without help.

And for the longest time

I’ve been trapped beneath

dilemmas that have yet

to disintegrate inside of my skin;

inside of my mind.

But then I met you,

and I could tell by your hands

that you were capable

of taking ahold of those troubles,

and putting them back

to where they belonged.

Back to the places

where they should stayed.
