Broken

It is okay to just be broken

come home to me just as you are

I won’t ask you about the wrongs you have done

there’s no judgment here. your past is yours.

I won’t try to change you into something you’re not

that is not what love is about.

********

Come lay your head upon my chest

and put your insecurities to sleep.

It breaks my heart that you know pain

don’t be afraid to weep.

I’ve always been drawn to the sensitive ones

I promise I won’t ever see you as weak.

All you have to do, my dear, is say my name, and I’ll come running

My heart is yours to keep.
