Once again, I am here
I am a shoulder to cry on
Once again, I am here
Someone to rely on
And not die on

I've thrown away razors
I've talked people to sleep
I've been
I even sang while they weep
And I hold their crying head
Covered in tears
And fears of mistakes
And I take it
I take it all
And put it in a box

This is like pandoras
It will one day open
And I worry
That all the words every spoken to me
Will spew out about myself
About my own health
I worry that I will enounter and edge
And not know what to do
I worry that there is so much more to me
Than you

The one that needed me
Feeded me
I'm my wicked dance
Of giving
So I'm not taking
From myself

I thank you for that

And I am always here
But it's not always easy
I cannot lose someone again
They weren't even my friend
Yet they are gone

So I will hold your keys till the end of the night
I will text you and make sure you got home alright

I Will always be a light
In the dark
To ignore my own darkness
My own foggy mess
My own thoughtlessness

And I'll be alight

And so will you

Promise me

Promise me you will too

Because I can't do this forever

But until then
Until the pain
Until the fear

Once again,
I am here
