When You Need Someone

Like a wall-
When your world crumbles
A helping hand
Is what you need
To get you through the mess.
But the love
You leave behind
Shatters into pieces
As if a window blown
In by a storm
Leaving you empty and cold.
You pound your fists
Upon the pillow
Saying never again.
Then a knock comes upon your door-
You want to say go away
But the pain lifts you up
Until you fall into the arms of a friend
Where the tears
Run and land upon a soft shoulder
That will hold you in a gentle sway
Until you can begin to dance.
