You stayed
TBrownrigg 1974 (Usa)
I felt lost
No direction in which to choose
Unsure, lonely and afraid
Walls so high to keep myself safe
I met you
We talked, we fought
I tried to
Run away from you
But you stayed
I pushed you away as a safety net
You stayed , told me I was stuck
We talked
Slowly
My walls came down
I feel
Safe and loved
I know which way to go now
Because you helped me find myself
And you stayed
About this poem
Being lost and lonely to finding yourself and a partner that helps you work through the past
