If I could

If I could...

I would hold the universe in one hand and you in the other,

To unburden your mind of the past, present, and what could.

If I could,

I would trace every ache on you,-

Balm them, and fight the voices that tear you down.

But as we are mortal,

I would sit still,

Besides you.

Sponge some of the worries and fears holding you back.
