Heart, Do Not Cry

*EOP challenge, topic: Healing*

Heart, you have been burdened by time,
I never knew you bore so much weight,
They say time heals all pain,
But this pain never seems to ease,

I see her day to day,
Struggling to live in this jungle called life,
Her heart has gone cold,
From all the harm she has seen

How could I not realize,
That she healed us on her expense,
Why couldn't I see?
That she was the one who needed to heal, not me.

Watching her grow,
Poor little heart,
It is ok to cry now,
You deserve that outlet again.

It's been a long time,
Since anyone paid attention,
How could I miss all the signs?
That you bore the weight, not I

But heart, don't cry,
Everything will be alright,
I'll be there by your side,
And heal all your wounds.

Please, don't show me those precious tears,
It breaks my heart,
Knowing time did not heal,
The wounds opened so long ago.

Let's begin a new page,
A page to heal your pains,
Let me take you hand,
Let me be what I used to be

I burdened you far too long,
Let me heal you this time,
Let me be time,
And get you out of you misery.

Allow me to love you,
Cherish you and hold you,
Let me pat you, be your shoulder when you're down,
And always be the brother you never had.
