Let me be the shoulder, on which you lean.



Let me be the shoulder, on which you lean.
I want to do this, I think you're pretty keen.

I vent to you, and you're there for me all the time.
Helping you would make me feel simply sublime.

I know you're not this fragile girl anymore.
But believe me, you've never been a chore!

You act like you're a nuisance, that you constantly drag me down.
When in reality, you are the reason, that I no longer wear my frown.

You helped me cleanse this old, broken, and tainted soul of mine.
You're the very reason, that I am happy, the reason that I'm fine!

So don't take my reason for being, and throw it away.
I just want you by my side, forever and ever to stay!!!

You are a part of me, my twin, we share the same heart and soul.
When you don't lean on me, your absence leaves a giant hole!
