I promise

You can let go

Release

Break the dam

Let it flood out

Let the tears

Drip down your face

And I promise

I will wipe them away

Open your mouth

Let a scream tear

Through you

Echoing in the empty room

With only you and me

You can be fragile

Innocent

And open

With me

I promise

I will hold you

Until you're ready

To tell me more

I will grab your hand

And squeeze

I will look at you

And tell you affirmations

With just my eyes

I Promise

But can you promise

You will let me?
