I am here

your insides may crumble
your senses could fail you
I will hold you still
like the calmness of the lake
I will breathe your breath
embrace your woes
sing so you can dance
even when you lose
I will be a shoulder
that will make your head fit
the wisdom you can rely on
when the world fails you
And your words can’t seem to lift you
for as long as my heart beats
so my endearment to you lives
