i hate when you cry
when i know that
i caused you pain
and i
just want to hold
you close and
wipe the teardrops
from your eyes.
want to tell you
that i am better
than i could ever be
and part
that ancient wreck
of old, parched,
dried up, angry sea.
want to love and give
and grow
and share it all,
i do.
and take away,
the sad, sad truth
and pain that ive
caused you.
