Silent Promise

I know its not easy

but am willing to try,

to be the wailing wall

when you need to cry.

I'll be the pin cushion

to take all your hurt,

or be the teddy bear

if you desire a cuddly spurt.

I'll be the closet

in which you can hide,

or be the veil

if you just want to step aside.

I'll be all ears

for all you wanna say,

or be a partner

if you need a gentle sway.

I'll be the melody

that your heart sings,

or be a perfume

when the world stinks.

I'll even be a nobody,

if that's what you desire.

Just to see you happy

is all that I aspire.

I'll be a friend

if you need it the most,

but please dear don't cry

as it hurts me the most.
