dust untouched

Let me hold your hand

When the waves of the ocean are threatening to break open your walls
When your bones refuse to move, even just a simple crawl
When you cannot find the strength to close your eyes for a sleep
Let me hold your hand, and I will hold you close
and I won't let you fall to your fears.

When your heart is beating and protruding off your chest, and all you are is surrounded by your foes
When you think that hope is running low like the steady clock running out of battery 
When few stars in your soul burn out from fighting so long
Let me hold your hand, and I will lead you on
to see the light you want to see for your own.

When you think that there's no more reason to be strong
When you are shaken by terror and yet you remain still
When you feel that your mornings are no divergent to nights
Let me hold your hand, and look into my eyes
Look at what's around you, look at everyone and everything.
You've made a change in their lives, nothing's the same without you.

As I hold your hand, I know that I am in contact with a whole new universe.

Let me hold your hand,
and I will help you hold on,
and I promise I won't let go.
