This is one of mine. I previously posted it on narc-anon. I hope you enjoy it!

To Not Be The Strong One

To lay my burdens down
at your feet
and walk away,
able to breath in more
than shallow, hurried air.
~
To drift peacefully over
the waves of lucid sleep,
instead of dragged through
restless hauntings
in the darkness.
~
To dissolve into tears
until I taste the ocean
on my lips and
the breeze of comforts
on my cheeks.
~
To not have to
pick up any pieces,
make any excuses,
or tell any lies.
~
To feel watched over,
looked after and
protected from anything
and everything in my life.
~
To reach out in a storm
and feel you near,
instead of catching lighted glimpses
cringing through the thunder.
~
To not be the strong one...just once
