All That's Left

You're always there if I need you, if I need to cry to you
and yet I never take advantage of that luxury.
Maybe, because we have so few minutes alone together
that I don't want to spend them weeping.
Maybe, because I fear rejection from you.
Whatever the reason, I don't cry to you,
although I so often want to.
Want to speak every word of my pain to you
until the words will no longer come
and the pain diminishes.
I want you to hold me forever
or until the ache in my heart disappears
and all that's left is peace of mind
and your beating heart to my ear.
