Not Yours to Hold

It was never yours to hold
I’m sorry we placed that into you
The belief that you could be the only one to help us
It wasn’t yours
And we’re sorry

It was our chaos. It was our pain, our frustration, our mayhem.
We didn’t have the tools. We didn’t know how to.
You were better at it - even as a child - you did it better than us. So we had you do it for us.

But I see the pain we caused. And the suffering you still carry, as a ripple of our choices.

I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you.
I’m sorry I didn’t know better.
Please forgive me.


You have me now.
I’m here for you - whenever and however you need me.

I couldn’t be with you then.
But I’m here for you
now.
