Shelter

He calls me

Claiming it's a casual conversation

When he is really crying for help

We sit talking for hours

The only thing I can do for him

Holding him is treason

He talks of his dear friend

All the good times they had

While he covers up his sorrow

With anger and frustration.

His pain showed one night

As he came to my door claiming sleep never came

He becomes a frail child

Needing strength and warmth from someone else

For when it is raining,

He drowns in his weakness

I am that someone else
