Clouded

I'd like to walk around in your mind one day

Meet you at the gates and ask how you've been

I'd like to walk all over the clouds you've been resting on and feel your love warm my heels

Tell you I'd join you if I could

I'd ask if you miss the way I'd play with your hair

Or boop you on your nose

And hope that'd be enough to bring you back

Please do and I'll wrestle your sorrows

So that you no longer have to

I'd tuck you into bed and lay down beside you

Hold you close and whisper it'll be okay

I'd rearrange your room

Anything to make you feel brand new

I'd wash your back when you can't get out of bed

I'll keep you warm and fed

Listen but not interject

Or we can exist together in silence

However long you need and more

I know that this dream isn't true

That I'm long past saving you

I'd be angry but I know this is what you thought you wanted

Give me your hurt, your pain, and your worst

I'll hold it for you gladly

Until you're strong enough to set it down on your own

I'll lend any part of myself that you need

As long as you promise to let yourself be
