i know you feel weak and scared,
like the whole world is collapsing around you,
you've seen better days,
but lately,
all you see is the tear stain on your pillow,
the day old mascara running down your cheeks,
the same baggy sweater you've been sporting for a couple of days,

if i could take the pain away,
i promise you i would

if i could help you in any way,
i promise you i would

but, for now,
you need to take control of your own life,
wipe away the tears,
change your sheets,
take a shower and put on new clothes,
turn up the music,
and remember that only you have control of your  life,
no one else is allowed to tear you down,
to take away your happiness,

the light within you may have dulled out,
but you have the fight in you
to light it up again,

if anyone should believe in you,
it's yourself
but, for the time being,
you should know that i never stopped believing in you,
i'll stand by you
through the dark and light,
i'll help you start up that light in you again,
you may feel like you lost everyone in this world,
but,
i never went anywhere,
i never left your side
and i don't plan on it now

you'll always have me
