Break

You can sing to me songs of heartfelt camaraderie,

but until I feel the true pain

of your tears upon my shoulders,

I will not know anything of you.

 

You can hold me in your arms, strong and wonderful,

but if I do not know your

weaknesses, your sorrow,

how do I know

you?

 

Weep with me, share your pain

with me and I will be

yours far past the

horizon of the

next dawn.
