Witness.

Author: Unknown

Loneliness corrodes your insides,
I am drunk on your emotion,
heightening my senses,
to a love like illusion,
I long to comfort by touch,
but confuse you with desire,
I the intruder in your grief,
witness of your search for peace,
welcome your pain it is,
my old familiar friend.

I think this portrays that balance so difficult to strike. Poignant as well!
