ah yes, honey,
i recognize heartache
bring your pain right in here
if it’s getting too much to take
i can put my hands over my eyes
and pretend not to see you cry
i’ve walked a mile
in those same shoes
came back empty
and split in two
those hunched over shoulders
look just like mine
not too very long ago,
that hanging head
and that deep sigh
it’s all the wanting to let it go
so if it’s a broken heart you carry
this is a place for the sad and weary
you can talk if you want or
just let the quiet ease your mind
you owe nothing to no one this time
not even to this bruised heart of mine
if that’s a heartache
you are carrying around
you are welcome
to set it down
