Don t Leave Me

02.2015

Please, don’t leave me here in the dark,
Don’t let me dissolve and fade out.
I look around, but there’s no one around,
Words flood my lungs, yet I can’t make a sound.

It’s just me and the weight that drags my soul below,
Look at my chest: watch my heart sink into this hole.
So won’t you break the chains around my throat, make them fray?
‘Cause I can’t bear another day...

My demons devour every inch of my soul,
Life inside me smolders like a dying coal,
But I know, I know, there’s a way out,
And there’s something we need to talk about.

I know only love can save me now,
And I’ve got something to avow:
When you’re near,
The darkness inside me just disappears.

The veil of pain stops scorching my eyes,
I stop drowning in oceans of lies,
And then I realize my heart beats true—
You’re the only one who can help me pull through.

Now I feel something good inside,
I guess it’s clear—I can’t hide.
But shadows still crawl through my soul, though they’ve no place here,
So kiss me now—make the shadows disappear.

I found the way out within you,
And I hope you know what you must do.
Cut the noose wrapped around my neck,
Don’t let it break me—save what’s left.
