i want to write about something other than depression
other than death
i want to write about what you took with you
not just what you've left
i'm sick of writing about bleeding hearts
and yellow teeth
i want to write about who'll stay with you
not just about who will leave
these nightmares get us nowhere
you need to start reaching for the light
stop focusing on what's wrong
start focusing on what's right
i know you're hanging from a cliff
that's why i'm giving you my hand
i'll pull you right back up
onto solid ground to stand
i see you wandering these streets
i know you're tired of being alone
i'll tuck you into bed tonight
i'll make this house a home
because you deserve the best
even if you can't admit it yet
we'll figure it out together
i don't care if it takes a thousand years
because i'm yours, and you're mine
forever.
