For the one I fear losing
You could stand over the world,
Break from your reins.
Your image is beautiful,
Even with pain.
I’ll stand beside you always.
Your hand gripped in mine.
I will never let go,
No matter how much you try.
Stand strong and tall,
As you have always done.
And break when you need to,
It happens to everyone.
And if I manage to let go before you,
It was because I cared.
And I trusted you fully,
Knowing you wouldn’t be scared.
You’ll stand on your own,
Soon enough.
Hurt will raise like the clouds,
Leaving nothing but love.
In a world searching for answers,
Don’t miss your cue.
In a world taught of ‘saviours’,
I hope they save you.
