You are my start and my end
My solace, and my best friend
The keen listener at the end of a long day
The only light when shadows are at bay.

And yet, I can feel myself slipping
As you guide me across the frozen water
Even with your reassuring hold on me tight
Somehow that just isn't enough tonight.

There are too many missing pages
Endless questions left unanswered
That I am left torn by the discrepancies
From those who claim to know you better.

Faith does not exist without trust
And trust does not exist without clarity
Realizing this I feel as if I have only been pretending
To understand more than I actually do.

I witness as the structures surrounding you collapse
The fear creeps in for I know nothing
Of the world without their shelter
And here I am left to design my own skyline.

I may wobble and crash onto the cracked ice
That threatens to swallow me whole with every impact
But nothing counts unless I've earned it on my own
So hold on to me and the hope for my return.

For I am your catapult, my Love
Stronger the further I am pulled back
After all, you are my start
And my end.
