Trouble Me

Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries. <br>Trouble me on the days when you feel spent. <br>Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong? <br>Trouble me. <br><br>Speak to me, don`t mislead me, the calm I feel means a storm is swelling; <br>there`s no telling where it starts or how it ends. <br>Speak to me, why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me when your silence is my greatest fear? <br>Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong? <br>Speak to me. <br><br>Let me have a look inside these eyes while I`m learning. <br>Please don`t hide them just because of tears. <br>Let me send you off to sleep with a "There, there, now stop your turning and tossing." <br>Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal. <br><br>Spare me? Don`t spare me anything troubling. <br>Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries. <br>Speak to me and let our words build a shelter from the storm. <br>Lastly, let me know what I can mend. <br>There`s more, honestly, than my sweet friend, you can see. <br>Trust is what I`m offering if you trouble me.
