RECLINE on YOU

Too weak to cry
Too tired to talk
I keep getting burned
Each time I open my heart

Hurt so jagged
Disquiet so deep
To feel neglected
Makes it hard to see

Are you really able
To handle the truth
For a little while
Can I recline on you

Until I find the courage
To put the pieces back together

© Shana G., Cross Plains, WI

This piece came from a dark moment with a dear friend that I was hoping to reconnect with. It was my chance to put my feelings into words in a productive way.
