My Darling, I Care

“My Darling, I Care”

Don't tell me that you understand,

don't tell me that you know,

don't tell me that I will survive,

how I will surely grow.

Don't tell me this is just a test,

that I am truly blessed,

That I am chosen for this task,

apart from all the rest.

Don't come at me with answers,

that can only come from me,

don't tell me how my grief,

will pass that I will soon be free.

Don't stand in pious judgment,

of the bonds I must untie,

don't tell me how to suffer,

don't tell me how to cry.

My life is filled with selfishness,

my pain is all I see,

but I need you;

I need your love, unconditionally.

Accept me in my ups and downs,

I need someone to share,

just hold my hand and let me cry, and say,

you have my love, each and every day.
