Shoulder

So much, pain how do I give comfort
Sadness and confusion I wish to
Transfer it all too me
For a moment to give him, release
Tears hauntingly reverberate
The sound I can’t extinguish
Wish I could erase the resonance from my mind
I cried too but held it inside of me for him
He needed strength I gave him all I could
Still I was left feeling incomplete
Because he was incomplete
And the journey continues
As this soul carries his load
Seeking absolve from the path
He chose to take
Has to learn to forgive his mistake
See the heart is a strong vessel
But to let it heal he has to let
Go of the past
And find forgiveness in himself
Love him
And I’ll be here the shoulder for
Him to rest his burdens on
