i care


why’d you cry today
was it because of the pain
that comes with love
 
 
are your children healthy
your partner, also
how are you, my friend
will you survive the day
 
 
i ask because i care
we’ve gone days we
have not spoken, written
or called exchanging our
life's wares
 
 
my efforts will be more
from now on to be there for you
if you wish to cry, my shoulder
will be comfort with a warm embrace
 
 
i know i can’t fix your world
nor you mine but we can assuage
the pain if we’re there for each other
showing that we care
 
 
you know it is said
when the burden is heavy
if it is shared the weight
will be lessen and can be
carried till its end
 
 
so call me and i will you
let’s talk and tell each other
about those burdensome things
so that our days will come to be
bountiful by knowing someone cares

  2. Opening up to someone is harder than it may seem. We get hurt so many times that eventually we can break, and as a defense mechanism we won't share those pains with anyone else but ourselves. Although this might be good at first, it is important to release that pain by talking through it with someone. Great poem Marco.

  4. Your poem expresses what it means to be a true friend to someone. To be able to share with someone at a deep level is a true gift, one which works both ways.
