Ache

Ache for you

I do

I know your soul is bruised

I hear the longing hidden deeply inside

Every word you say

And then my heart breaks

All over again

For the little boy

So lost

Fighting a fight

That speaks of the wound

He carried in silence

For so very long

Save me

Is the lament

That lost its voice

Hidden stealthily inside

Every single declaration of love

That falls from your lips

Heavens above

I do not want to break your heart

But at times

I cannot bear the ache

I sense

And it kills me to say

I cannot make the necessary recompense

My darling

Your suffering is yours

And I just do now know

If I can trust

That it is I

Who you really need

To heal

This ache
