Sometimes the unspoken words
Where you seem to stumble
Shrouded by unknown feelings
Hesitant heart wants to decipher
Taking the time to shuffle them
Create meaning of the randomness
Words, spoken within the heart
And the soul privy to the feelings
One needs to search thoroughly
The heart that holds the secret
Maybe be not for the stranger
Only the one who wins the heart
Will be given passage to the soul
To decipher the unspoken words

I will help you from falling off this cliff
you've been hanging there for
days, weeks, months, years,
i'm not sure.
But now that I know,
I swear to you that I won't let go.

There are sharp, black rocks
peaking out of the raging ocean
where white foam bubbles on the wave's crest
the water makes your hands slip.
But now that I know,
I swear to you that I won't let go.

Take my hand and hold on tight
i'm bracing myself to share the weight
of the problems that make you want to fall
into those dark waters.
But now that I know,
I swear to you that I won't let go.

And it is not a waste of time
because I don't care how long it will take
days, weeks, months, years,
until you are yourself again.
Because now that I know,
I won't ever, ever let you go,
or God have mercy on my soul.

It is both, a gift, and a burden
to feel everything
oh so deeply
