when tears flow
my tears freely flow
when I have no need
to hide them
when you do not flinch
nor offer to soothe
my tears freely flow
when stirred by gestures
of kindness and love
in moments of connection
when your voice honours me
my tears freely flow
when you feel safe enough
to share discomfort
when I am trusted with your truth
when I feel your pain
my tears freely flow
when touched by your grace
– holding
what does not need fixing
but wants to be felt
by us both
