Tell me your stories
Tell them to me with words you've never said out loud.
Paint a picture of your history on a canvas of which to be proud.
Speak with a vibrancy that you picked up as you walked through life alone.
Rip the floor from beneath my feet, shake me and drop me like a stone.
Wrap me around your finger and break the silence open wide.
Pull me through the hills and valleys, keeping up to you with stride.
I might have hit a wall and found myself lost for words.
But it's not a fault to be dumbstruck
So give me breath and fill me up, my dear.
Lift me up and give me wings to rise above this funk.
