Your Burden

Trembling and sliding backwards down the trail

Tripping and falling over with tears flooding your eyes

I can't help but want to take your burden

To take your pain away 

So you don't ever have to feel that way again

But you can't see me

I'm invisible to your eyes

My short life took me from you

Now i'm left in torment as you are left alone

Struggling without help

I almost miss you say my name

You say it so soft and warm 

You ask for me to be with you

To carry you and tell you it'll be okay

I stare at you as you cry and slowly whisper into your ear

Though you can't hear me, 

You're so close

Only a short way up the hill 

I don't know how you can go on alone but you must

I'll be waiting at the end

Waiting to carry you and take away your pain

Abruptly you get up look down where i am and smile

You know, you smile as you climb like you had just started

Bounding the rocks and hills

The pain has no hold on you now

Nothing does, not even gravity

Flying to where I am

Nothing can stop us as our feet dangle below us and the sky approaches

With love,

Dusty
