World-Weary Girl

World-weary girl, Tears form in your eyes, Confusion swirls Like a virulent tornado Around your heart, Rending the fragile fabric of your soul, I fear, irreparably apart. I want to kiss your delicate face, Gently touch your hair, Reassure you I’m on your side, Reassure you that I care. World-weary girl, Invite me into your life, Help me understand your story If we have to talk unceasingly Through the dark and lonely night. I believe in your struggle, And I’ll send sympathetic prayers into the universe Until I know the dawn of a new embrace Has brought you into the arms Of an indisputable and transforming love.
