some nights
my heart aches so terribly
i can feel it
in my eyelids
begging them to close
to escape for a few hours
of peace.

what i would give
to reach into the darkness
and grasp your hand
to pull you into a better place

i cannot see you,
i cannot find you
just reach out to me
and place your palm against mine

i will pull you here
into my shaded sunlight
and we do not have to be alone.

you are so broken
you don't deserve to be.
