Don't say you are sorry
Don't let pity falter your gaze
I need no compassion
No comforting or advice
Just a place to sit
With my darkness
and hear
its whispers
Allow me a moment of weakness
that doesn't define me
Hold me
Just hold me
While I weep rivers of tears
Wail at the moon
And curse my own decisions
Meet me when I am down
and don't feel sorry for me.
Hold me
Not with compassion
or sadness
But with Joy
That you can be here with me.
Meet me in Rapture,
With Devotion to Life
to counter the Death in me
See me as I am
Broken and hungry
For Presence
Lonely, defiant and naked
tormented and blind to the world
of desire and judgement
Witness me
In my darkest place
Where my anguish
is the same as yours,
Where my pain is no longer mine
But the weight of Humanity
Taken off of my shoulders.
Meet me
not as another
but as a part of me
embracing me
welcoming me home.
