Vulnerable
Laying in the bath
Naked
Both literal and metaphorical
I’m vulnerable
And I can’t help but think
How far I’ve come
Because I have the best friends
And I have the best teachers
All the people I love
Who surround me
I wish the very best for them
Because I know I couldn’t always give that to them
And sometimes I felt alone
But mostly I feel cherished
Because you compliment me
And love me
Like no man ever could or did
Laying in the bath
Naked
Both literal and metaphorical
I’m vulnerable
And when all I can think is
“Could I help?”
“Could I have done better?”
“Could I have been a better friend?
A better daughter and granddaughter?”
“Could I have fixed it?”
And I know my answer is that I could’ve done better
But I also know that it wouldn’t make them do better
It breaks my heart because I see you cry
And I never wanted you to feel like this
It breaks my heart to see you so heartbroken
And when all I can think is
“Could I help?”
“Could I have done better?”
“Could I have been a better friend?
A better daughter and granddaughter?”
“Could I have fixed it?”
I’m happy that you’re gonna be happy
Even though it breaks us both to have to not live together
But instead we hurt together
At least we’re together nonetheless
At least we’re vulnerable together
Even though I’m most vulnerable now
I am so glad that you’re the reason I am
Because I never wanted to see you hurt
But I also never wanted to be vulnerable because of anyone else
You’re my hope and my sunshine
And you remind me of days when it didn’t hurt
Of days when I was free
You remind me of everything that I love
Because I really do love you
And I will never replace you
Because I never could
You’re my best friend and my soulmate
You make me the way I am
You make me
Vulnerable
And this doesn’t mean goodbye
Because I could never say that until the day I die
But it just means
That you made me vulnerable
And you pulled me out of dark pits
Because you were vulnerable
And even though we both hurt
We hurt together
So what does it matter?
Now
Laying in the bath
Naked
Both literal and metaphorical
I’m vulnerable
