Hope My Pain Poem by John Cain

I am your lover but why
Are you scared
See me tonite
See me in a place by the sea

Seagulls fly, oceans flow
And but you don’t know
To be or not

Will you shoot me
I will keep you safe
Til your bones decay
Let me close
To be loved and to love

I touch you I feel
Seagulls flow, oceans fly
Being, aching void filled
In a moment

Oh my love get up,
Get up, wake up
Understand
The depth of my heart

I will cup my hands
Give you my loving kindness
When you fall, I will pick you up
The debris of the years gone by

I fall to sleep, and I wake up –
yearning, dawning, learning.
