I See You

Where are you?

I need you right now

To break my fall

And help me up

I am right here beside you

Maybe you can’t see me

But I am here

Just trust me

If you are with me

Why can’t I see you?

Why can’t I feel you?

Please don’t leave me alone

I am not going anywhere

I am hiding your heart

And joining you on the steps

As you sit and weep

Why does it hurt so much?

Why is the road so bumpy?

I can’t walk steadily

My feet always stumble

I see your pain

And will catch your tears

When you cry

And hold them close to me

Why do you care about me?

Why waste your time?

I am not worth it

I am just a lonely soul

To me you are everything

You are worth it

So just trust me

And draw close to me

I am not sure I can

I don’t feel strong anymore

Fear overcomes me

And my heart is heavy

You are more than able

Lean on me for strength

Do not be afraid

I have your heart in my hand
