Tonight Poem by Erwick Brandon

Baby...make it stop hurting...
I'm trying to be strong, but maybe I'm the weak one. Have been all along. I can be strong for others when I have to be. I can be a shoulder to cry on and an ear that's always listening. But tonight I'm neither of those things.
I'm bound by too many strings.
I just wish it was over and done.
So I can finally be with you my only one. I worry about the aftermath.
What's it going to be like when I come back? For you? For us? Will they ever except us? I'm willing to fight. I will never give you up. I'm determined to make it all alright. You deserve the best and that's what I strive to be. To be everything and more for you, your very own Prince Charming. And still, this distance between us is tearing me apart.
It's hardly recognizable now, what's left of my heart. I wish this pain would subside. Tossing and turning feeling this infinite burning. Constantly yearning, and incessantly wondering what makes me so deserving...of a person like you. What makes me so special?
The only special thing about me is you. Fix me sweetheart. Heal my heart. Pick up the pieces and put it back together so it never falls apart.
Maybe tomorrow I can be the strong one. But tonight I'm broken. Tonight I'm the vulnerable one.
