Holding Space
Promises, I make only to keep
You are a friend and that’s sacred to me
I will be holding space, for us, you see
My words safe in my heart
The hurt mine to behold
My inhibitions, fears
Tears and distance I keep
To elevate and alleviate
You may bring your words
My silence, I’ll keep
It’s been a while, the spoken words I’ve bartered for the written
Won’t give either to you
Escapist I am not
Happy in the crowd, smile and gel
Safely guarded by my shell
Mellowed with age
Outbursts few and defences weak
Empathy, I don’t seek
It’s only human
To let go and carry on
Looking fine and beyond
As quitting is not done
Sorry, not meant for this place, but, I tend to dump :/
