I am Your Tomorrow

I held you softly

as you slept

I held you gently

as you wept

I held you tightly

as you screamed

I stroked your hair

as you dreamed

I wiped the tears

that would not dry

I cried the tears

you would not cry

I took the demons

in your head

and made them

Mine instead

I need to be

by your side

don’t turn me away

I am not your Pride

I am not your Pity

I am not your Sorrow

I am here Today

I am your Tomorrow
