I see so much sadness
I know I'm not alone
So,So much pain
Rivers of it flow

I understand the reasons
Wish to help them all
How would that be possible
When I still trip and fall

Hope keeps showing itself
Only glimpses at a time
There's one who keeps me moving
She moves me all the time

Someday seems so distant
Like a mountain looming far
But someday keeps me going
Though sometimes it gets hard.

I promised myself
I wouldn't let this consume me
That the claws ripping me apart inside
Can be stopped
Can be calmed,
But I think I have since forgotten
How to make them disappear.

I don't know how you've done it,
But I'm hanging off your every word,
I'm waiting on edge for your reply,
And there's a small part of me
That isn't convinced
When I say it's okay that you'll call tomorrow.

I'm not usually clingy,
And I've never felt like this,
And while I'm over the moon
When you kiss my lips soft,
I have also never been this nervous.

You've done the damage now,
How I wish we lived closer,
So you could start patching it up.

You lay beside me
And I felt safe,
Everything forgotten,
Just the beating
Of two young hearts
And the heavy
Up and down
Of your chest
As you breathed,
Soft as the sea
Upon the sand.

You take a hold of the only strength I have left
Then rip it away to make me weak
Just like that
I fall back
