we can go together

harbor my hollowed heart 

take my hand and keep it 

through the moments of our 

misfortune 

can our love carry

the cause?

privy to your pain–

i tread carefully 

wading in your sorrows

i will carry you to shore

for better or for worse 

and with every stitch

i will mend your aching soul 

hemming your heart 

until it is whole once more – 

would you do the same for me

or is that selfish to say?

for doubt is a powerful potion –  

heavy is the mind that thinks only of tomorrow 

weighted are the thoughts tied only to the storm 

yet we exist in the eye 

in tandem is this blessed union

let the winds bellow

let our reflections hold true

and seal our fate in solidarity

we can go together.
