Letters for No One: 20. Lift

I placed my hand on my heart

I felt lonely

as I have been for the longest

the heavy duties

it's too much to take

yet I don't get to have a choice

'cause they think I'm strong

and I got everything figured out

You placed your hand in mine

and felt the weight

lift off bit by bit on my chest

it's no big deal

but since you're here

to share all my grieving

I figured I can stand tall again

and falling sometimes feels good

'cause when I'm down here, I got you

who would never add to my burden

but lessen them bit by bit

until it's so light, I could fly.
