I may get scared and try to run
I’m sorry in advance.
Others left and watched me walk,
Not taking the chance
To pull me back and quell my fear
Or try to ease my pain.
And that’s a solitary road
I’ll never tread again.
This patched up, battered, stitched up heart
I’d surely love to share.
So long as I possess the promise
you won’t leave it there
in the barren, cold, lonely, dark
known as agony.
Just hold it close, don’t let go
If you do love me.
I see the light now at the end
Of the den despair.
Yet at times you may reach for me,
And find your hand meets air.
No more will terror rule my heart
My Father gave the power
To give again and love within
To stay with you, not cower.
Hold fast to me dearest love,
Please be patient yet.
And know the ardor you desire
From me is what you’ll get.
