The Backbones Lament

Folder: 
inner workings

When you fall

   You know

That I'll always be there

       To catch you.

When you cry

   You know

       My shoulder will always be there.

Sometimes though,

I hurt...

Like tonight.

And I wonder

   Who would ever catch me

If I were to fall?

Where is there a shoulder

   for my tears?



I give you answers.

   I light your dark pathways.

I'd walk the world for your happiness.

Yet I suspect

   That neither you

       nor anyone else

Would take a mere

       Step

          for me.

I wrote this about giving more than you can ever hope to receive.
