I used to live in a hidden place
Somewhere in the trees
Walking, running around as a kid
And inevitably falling on my knees
Then something happened when i was 6 or 7
The trees grew dark and the water started to stop
But it was my fault, was it not?
At that point i was told to talk to people
But instead of talking id hide in my shadow
Pretending i didn't exist, for that moment at least
Hiding from all the pain and sorrow
It stayed that way for a while
12, 13 years at least, until i met someone who showed me how to light up my world
One that always had a smile, broken but true
I watched the light dim from her eyes
After all of her hurt, and silent goodbyes
We got close enough for her to cry in my arms
Proving she trusted me, not knowing if i would do her harm
It breaks my heart watching her pain
I honestly wish i could take it away
Id keep it with me, replace it with reasons to stay
I've tried with music and art
Poetry and showing my heart
The broken, the good
Showing her she's not alone
And when she is, we're alone together
I think it works
I'm not quite sure
I hope it does for now at least
Until she can find her way back to her feet
And when she does may my debt be repaid
For she was my light in the darkest days
She was my hope when I lost my faith.
