Hold On

You suffer in silence
with all that weight on your shoulders
the light in your eyes trying to shine
through so much pain
and my heart breaks
seeing the secrets you try to hide
I’ve found you
lost in the seas
and I’m trying to reach you
but with every passing moment you turn
further from the shore
hold on
don’t let go quite yet
split the darkness
let your life shine through
and I will find you
and help you carry that load
so that you may rise again
I can’t save you by myself
but I can share my strength
so that the burdens aren’t quite what they seem
and your light can guide you home.
