Little Salvation

Someone is scared 

To fall in love 

And I surely know that 

If I confront them 

They will get defensive 

And it is not my place to ask 

Even though it is 

Not my place to say 

But I wish to see them fly 

Rooted to the ground

Still soaring in the sky

They can't fly with a burden 

Gravity will pull them so sudden 

They won't let go of that hurt 

Which is Deeply embued 

In their battered heart 

In exchange for a little love 

I offered them closure 

Which they denied 

Without being sober
