My heart shatters
When you hold me
My body shudders
Your arms around my shoulders
Pull silent tears from my eyes

The way my eyes look at me
They have always been cruel
But you-
Your embrace is one of solidity
One of caring
And if I could, I would leave myself folded in your arms for eternity
A hopeless addict stumbling for your light
Your love

Would you cry for me?
I want you to
I want you to hold me, and tell me
That I am powerful and beautiful and deserve better than this
I want you to lend me your frame so I may stand propped up against you
Because my feet only know solid ground when I am in your arms

You say
"I care"
And those two words are enough to break my heart
