Walk With Me

A poem about difficult relationships

Walk With Me

Why do you vile hiss and

Push me away,

When you want me close by?

 

Why do you draw me near and squeeze,

When you wish me to stray?

 

This struggle for love,

This struggle for hate,

Push, pull

                      Push, pull

The eggshell game

We play

 

You howl and scream,

Yearning to

Whisper tender words of love

 

It’s okay, 

 I won’t abandon,

Your devoted daughter,

I'll always be,

On your side forever,

Safe harbor

From the raging storm

 

Hold my hand and walk with me,

Talk to me,

Love me,

 

I want to know you,

Tell me your dreams

And your sorrows

 

Put away your mask,

Don’t be afraid,

That's all I ask

 

Hold me close to your warm heart,

Soft place,

Sought from my downy start

I thought I had reviewed this, but its seems not. This is great poem. We all want to find and need peace and calm in our lives. Thank you for sharing this.

seems someone needs a bit of librium to balance out that bi-polarness ;)

"Put away your mask"..I love this line. I think so often many people hide behind a mask, and we never get to know them.
NIce write.

Relationships can be a push and shove, but can also be a warm peaceful feel!
