shoulder

shoulder My struggle is not
epic in proportion
instead
in proverbially quiet desperation
I trod on through the almost daily heartache
waiting
always waiting
for a smile
a warm and tender touch
wondering why it is so hard
to shoulder this burden
the knowledge
the emotion I work so hard
to get through to you
