Perfect! As I read this poem I felt strong emotions; someone who is truly jaded. It is written very elegantly and flows smoothly. The rhyme scheme seems very natural (that is something I really appreciate in a poem). Well Done!

Love it!
Hope the following is helpful, I use syllable counting, so I added a few to match your lines.
You may have left out commas, as I notice some poets do, is capitalization of each line intentional? As I read you poem I was enrolled in your emotion, great job! Some alternative descriptive words if they work for you:
preoccupied, laydened, weary would be descriptive in terms of feelings of the heart. Bring/offer in lieu of give. Just some thoughts!

Enjoyed reading your material.
Kate

Vulnerable, so/and tired
In need of an embrace
With strong arms, (and)/ your deep heart
You take me from that place

Come and rest with me now 6 syllable
In spirit, not a word
I give (to) you no burden 6 syllable
My breath is all that's heard

My mind has been heavy
The path has been unkind
I whisper none of this
As now, it's left behind

For only with your touch
Am I in this calm space
And when you are in need
I'm there with my embrace

Sometimes, just a hug or a person being there for you is all that's needed...not a word need be said. I like this one a lot.

    Hi Brqqlyn! Thank you so much for your very generous review and comments! I would LOVE for you to have your eye on me! Ha!! My other 2 poems were just taken off the review page. If you liked this one, perhaps you would want to read "New Steps" and "Peace, Sweet Peace". And I'm going to go read some of yours now. With warmest regards, Sue

This is a very deep poem, but the readers can clearly read in between the lines and guess the hidden meanings because of the words that you used. Great job.

I loved it. I thought it was very tender and sad. It flowed beautifully and the meaning almost made me cry. Thanks for sharing this.

This is really quite lovely,
a first-rate piece of verse,
with a smooth soothing flow

A real pleasure to review.

The healing warmth of an embrace. No words needed in that moment. Yes, you have conveyed both the need and the mood in few words. I like the idea of
"I give to you no burden
My breath is all that's heard"

Nice work. I like the line breaks, very effective. Your word choice is eloquent. I would love to see this piece done without rhyme but just pure imagery...that would really pack a punch. But it is still very nice as it is. Thanks for sharing. :)
