I need you to put my broken heart at ease...

I need you to put my broken heart at ease,
hold me close, and tightly squeeze,
Wipe away the pain that I feel inside,
The pain that for years I have tried to hide,

I need your help to pick up these shattered pieces,
That have eroded from my heart,
leaving it with many scars and creases,
Each scar having its own tale,
That can be read as if it were encoded in Braille,
These pieces have left an emotional trail,

I need you to please lend me your ear,
Please listen to my heart,
And let me know that you are here,
So this pain in my heart can finally clear,

You are the one who holds the keys,
To put my broken heart at ease
