Strong For Me

When you cry,
I give you my shoulder to hide your tears

When you're happy
I put my arms around your shoulder so that everyone can see your cheer

When you're mad
I give you my listening ear so that you can scream and yell words
That you might not want everybody else to hear.

And if you're about to fall,
I try my best to catch you but if I can't I make sure I'm close enough to help ease the pain.

No matter what you need, I try to be there
Not out of obligation, simply because I care.

But what's hard for me, is something you probably don't know
Not because I'm hiding anything, it's just something I have learned not to show.

See after absorbing all of your emotion, I'm simply left all alone
Only space between me and these four walls

It's time I try to let go, but this involuntary wall is not a pushover.
It's getting harder everyday to cover my emotion..
These tears about to fall and I have can't control them.
This wall is falling and I'm not as strong as you think
This shoulder that you've been leaning on, is slowly but surely about to sink.

As I sit in this space, this is my plea...
Can you...will you...be strong for me.
