if i wanted you to
confort me
hold me
touch me
wipe the tears
from my eyes
rub my shoulders
while whispering
soothing words in
my ears
acting as my
soul's savior
the definition of
reassurance in your voice
pleading with my
battered emotions
to just
let go
let go
move on
move on
far from the past
for fear of reliving it
i would ask you to
i would ask you to
force me
convince me
and show me
that there is nothing
so important that
every tear that i
own should be
shed over this

but i didn't ask you to do this
so
leave me alone
you cannot pacify those who were meant to cry...

Author's Note: sometimes it's best to let it all out rather than being comforted and being told that it's going to be alright. this is dedicated to those who feel that way and don't want that. simple as that.
