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

You gave us a lot to think about in this story of love.
It can indeed be a battlefield.

I'll always be,
On your side forever,
Safe harbor

We need to love the people who can get lost. Daughter and sons will one day hold the strength for the old people. I see the concern of my daughter for me. Real love is forever.
"Tell me your dreams
And your sorrows
Put away your mask,
Don’t be afraid,
That's all I ask"

Why do you draw me near when you want me to go? We are walking on eggshells........I will always be here for you and yours, your safe haven in the storm. I want to know everything about you, good and bad, what is behind your mask. Hold me close, this is all I have ever asked. A beautiful piece Marie.

This was very emotional, you penned it beautifully. It is hard to find peace and calmity in this day and age, but you described it wonderfully. Well done.

Relationships who can figure? The problem with ppl is we are all selfish, its only when we find true love that we begin to sacrifice our own needs for those of the other.
