Help You

Yes I admit You are broken But I have a stockpile of band-aids That I used to keep for myself They are yours now And yes, You are hurt But I have soft cherry lips That can kiss pain away I will share them with you And those broken bones of yours? I have just the thing for them; Arms that brace injuries with an embrace "What about my flaws?" you ask For those, take a look into my magic mirror That shows how perfect each flaw truly is I cannot not forget The dark hole you are stuck in I know the feeling And you can borrow my shovel And when you need the strength To dig yourself out, Look into the blue of my eyes I will help you carry on I will do all that I can do To put band-aids on your wounds To kiss away the pain To wrap up every injury To dispel insecurities To give you the tools you need To help you help yourself To give you the warm sunlight you need In order to grow.
