Array ( [sid] => 53780 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => That's What I Fear [time] => 2004-06-26 12:29:15 [hometext] => My depression has left me alone for awhile, but now that Mark needs support I'm scared that I won't be strong enough...... I wrote this Thursday night [bodytext] => Sitting here feeling all alone,
With no meat left on my bones,
Feeling like I’ve been stripped bare,
All I want is for someone to care.

Care that I feel so shell like & empty,
I don’t want you to hate & resent me,
My heart needs sheltering from the cold,
As my tears & hurt slowly unfold.

I feel alone when I’m in a crowd,
Pain speaks volumes; I don’t make a sound,
You have enough to deal with yourself,
So I stick my worries upon a shelf.

I have to stay strong for you,
I’d rather it was me feeling blue,
Than you who was feeling the strain,
I will stop you from going through pain.

You need all the support you can get,
I push it to the side & try to forget,
The things that hurt me so deep,
Trying to hide what makes me weep.

For you I’m trying my very best,
But in the process feeling quite stressed,
I want all your worries to disappear,
I won’t always be strong for you, that’s what I fear.

The most important thing is that you stand solidly beside him. You may not be able to fix it, but you can help him shoulder it by just being there. You can do it through the strength of love.

The good thing about being a couple is that you share the burden. Don't worry, you'll do fine. This poem expressed alot. Good one. Peace to you.
