Tears

You show me 

Your red weeping face

And once again

I am unsure of how to respond. 

The outsiders know what to do.

Why don't I?

I love you.

I support you.

I don't know how to tell you.

But just know

That if you ever show me your tears,

I will never show you my back.

Lean on me.

Cry on my shoulder.

I don't know what else to offer you

But a welcoming smile, 

A warm heart,

And calm silence.
