Trouble

Trouble me
Disturb me with all your cares
And your worries
Trouble me
On the days when you feel spent

Why let your shoulders bend
Underneath this burden when my
Back is sturdy and strong?
Trouble me.
Speak to me,
Don't mislead me,
The calm I feel means a storm
Is swelling;
Speak to me,
There's no telling where it starts
Or how it ends.
Speak to me,
Why are you building this thick brick wall
To defend me
Speak to me,
When your silence is my greatest fear?

Why let your shoulders bend
Underneath this burden when my
Back is sturdy and strong?
Speak to me.

Let me
Have a look inside these eyes
While I'm learning
Let me
Please don't hide them
Just because of tears
Let me
Send you off to sleep with a
"There, there, now stop your turning and tossing"
Let me
Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal
Spare, Spare me?
Don't spare me anything
Troubling.

Trouble me, disturb me
With all your cares and you worries
Speak to me
And let our words build a shelter from the storm
Let me
At lastly, let me know what I can mend

There's more, honestly, than my sweet friend
You can see
Trust is what I'm offering
If you trouble me
