The sunlight stains my skin
Leaving traces of the days
mistakes
Broken down
Lost and forgotten in my head
Your heart a glimmering beacon
In my storm the smell of the
sea
The unforgiving waves
Swallowing me whole
My safety net
Being held in your arms
Lifting me back to the surface
Allowing me to catch my
breathe
For my fingertips to reach the
stars
Looming over head
Breaking skies opening up
Hands of hope extend their
kindness
Catching my tears
I’ll stay here
Ride out this mess
Do you really hear the words I
speak?
The feelings I portray
That sometimes I just need a
friend
I call out names
Muffled, with despair
I close the door
Shutting myself in this
darkness
Your light flickers in my
window
Reminding me there’s a place
As long you are around
To reel me back to reality
That things may seem lost
With a new perspective
They can be found
