Savior

I wish I could write songs to move you

 

To sooth you

 

Rid your heart of all this pain

 

Make you see all the color in this world again

 

If only I could show you how much you mean

 

The ever lasting effect you have bestowed upon this dark place we live in

 

Your mark isn't unnoticed

 

Admired by many

 

Envied by more, stuck looking in from outside your presence

 

Words escape me to express how I feel

 

I know I am not alone in this ordeal

 

A crowd has gathered, before my entrance and still more staggering in after me

 

Seeking shelter under the wings of an angel

 

Barricaded in this place so comforting

 

Safety envelopes us, now knowing we will never be alone

 

You take the brunt of what a cold world throws at us

 

Keeping us warm, out hearts beating stronger

 

Unable to notice yours slowly fading

 

Our blessed joy enraged in us, strengthened by the smile you put forth

 

Deafening us to the silence held in your chest

 

Dear love, Fear not

 

We hear your absent cry

 

To be held and be saved, embraced in the same love you so freely give

 

Open your eyes now, and meet ours with your beautiful gaze

 

See the open arms waiting to embrace you and bring warmth back over you

 

For all the lost souls, seen and unseen, that you have saved

 

You're beautiful in so many ways

 

I wish I could make you see

 

I can only hope to bring a little light in, to brighten your darkest days

 

I love you
