The other day I sought you out, I found you hiding in a corner
your arms covering your head.
You looked so small hiding from me
When you heard me coming you ran away
back into the darkness of your shattered life
I call to you as I searched for you, you did not answer me
I found you hiding under a table, so small you made yourself
I saw your tears washing your face, I tried to comfort you
But you dodged my words
Back into hiding you went, deeper into the hole of darkness
Yet I did not stop my search for you
Following you from shadow to shadow
Calling for you as I pursued you
"The pain you carry is not yours alone, let me carry it for you", I cried
You hesitated for just a moment
With baited breath I waited, with a hope you would turn to me
But again you ran from me, But I noticed not as fast
I cried after you, "I know your pain"
Then I saw you yell over your shoulder
Tears streaming down your pain-covered face
"I am ashamed, I have shamed you"
I am not good enough for you, I am scared"
I responded with growing excitement, "Come let me cleanse you"
You have always been and always will be good enough
I love you so much that I gave my life for you
You stopped suddenly in your tracks, and turning around to look at me
"Why so much love for one so small?" you asked
"Because you are not small in my eyes" I replied
You ran to me with outstretched arms
