Calmness sets in
It's been a long time
Where have you been

I've been drifting around
Waiting for you
To finally breathe
And let me on through

I've been searching and waiting
To feel that safe touch
My mind has been racing
I've been thinking too much

Your frantic state
Is what blocked my return
It's your own fault
That your nerves are so burned

I think I now see
All that was holding me back
My sense of self worth
Is what I did lack

You must think of yourself
And what you may like
And I'll stick around
Be with you for life

Thoughts that I have
Flip and they flay
They dance on my heart
And chip it away

The meanings don't stay
But the marks there, they leave
As if written in water
The words disappear

I feel their weight
But can't grasp just why
Scars without meaning
Yet still make me cry

The doubts that persist
Are bringing me down
My face now displays
A permanent frown

I just want my faith
To come barreling forth
But it flows and it melts
Bent on taking me with

Struggling and fighting
Through the haze in my mind
Worry and doubt
I'm fading behind
Your words find a way
But do not clear a path

Faith is failing
I'm feeling my last
The fog grows more dense
The light gets more dim
I need intention's hand
To pull me on through
Do I let it close in
Or do I wait here on you?
