Take me in your arms and comfort me

I walk along the road of life,
With sadness on my face
The joys I used to feel
Have sadly faded away

The problems keep on growing
The people keep disappearing
I’m all alone now in my time of need
I need support, I need comfort, please

People think of me as being false,
Not caring for anyone but myself
That’s not true I do care,
But I find expressing my feelings hard

I fear I may die with this bad news
My life could be cut short,
Due to the killer disease of life
And I have no one to share my pain with

I need a friend, a comforter and a carer
The one person I turn to, has doubts
Doubts about whether I am genuine
Can you not see the pain in my face?

Help me, I need you
I am sorry for ruining your life
Sorry for causing you pain and hurt
Please take me in your arms and comfort me

I need a friend, a comforter and a carer
To me you are all those things
Despite hurting you, you do listen to me
Please take me in your arms and comfort me
