Come in, but tread lightly on my aching heart
Move slowly and let not your jarring laugh cause it’s brittle edges to crumble
Come in, but tread lightly on my breaking heart
Understand that I won’t allow you to try to heal what’s left, for the pain is a strange comfort
Come in, but tread lightly on my hurting heart
Move gently, for peace is all that it can bare in this moment
Come in, but tread lightly on my swollen heart
It can absorb no more, but it’s deafening, irregular beat can be soothed by your presence
Come in, but tread lightly on my fragile heart
Help me to protect it from the noise of a world it is not yet ready to rejoin
Come in, sit with me until one day my aching, breaking, hurting heart aches, breaks, hurts a little less
Come in, sit with me until one day my swollen, fragile heart begins to calm
Come in, sit with me until one day, I may start to restore.
