Let Me Take Your Pain: A Poem

Posted by Beki on Dec 22, 2014 in Poetry | 0 comments

I wish I could take your pain as my own            
I’d bury it deep inside me
For I am stronger, I can carry your load
What breaks you, won’t break me

I wish I could take your pain as my own
It feels like it’s mine anyway
Your cuts are my cuts, we both bleed the same blood
If I try, I can’t wipe it away

I wish I could take your pain as my own
And see you happy once more
Free from these burdens that shackle you down
Released from all you deplore
