Sometimes in the deepest water,
With miles and miles to swim,
we think a life raft makes us weak
and we are better than it.
But while you're drowning, if you would, my dear
allow me to show you I am here.
That I am not just a buoy to hold
but an island away from sorrows that unfold.
While concerning yourself with those who mistreat you,
I entreat you to tell me your greatest woes.
to vomit them from your head like poison
and then forget the unpleasantries you know.
I welcomed the bums and dealers and pained-
the learned, the wicked and scrubs-
I know that you feel you should keep it inside
but I see you drowning and it kills me my love.
Others may love you and may push for an answer
but I swear I love you more than even that-
I love you enough to take on your pain
and that will be that will be that.
I've given you my life, my love and my child
and I exist for your pleasure each day
so give unto me your discomfort and seek
my open heart to guide your way.
For everything you are and can see
I love you, your husband, sincerely, me.
