thank you

i've never let my tears roll past my own cheeks
i'll wipe them away before anyone catches them
but i let them fall further than i'm used to last night
they collected and dampened your shirt
and i know you tell me not to say sorry
but i feel like a burden sometimes
a millstone tangled around your sleepy body
letting go limb by limb eventually
but only when you say everything's okay
and only when i finally believe you
so i can drift to sleep with hopeful thoughts
instead of the heavy loads of cargo
weighing down my mind
