For You:

Let me be you for a while.
Let me see through your eyes,
Breathe with your breath,
Taste with your lips,
Hear with your ears,
Touch with your fingertips,
And love with your heart.

I can see what you see.
A world so dark
You try to close your eyes to it
But you have to open them eventually.

I can breathe with your breath.
The air you inhale is cold and still
And when you breathe
The inside of you shivers.

I can taste With your lips.
A flavor so bland
Wanting to be sweet
But it is bitter.

I can hear with your ears.
The sounds are muffled and low
You want to hear music
But instead you hear silence.

I can touch with your fingertips
So gentle and sensitive
But sometimes they are pricked
Or burned.

I can love with your heart.
So giving and beautiful
But hurt and weakened
Hidden away for so long.

Let me be you for a while.
Let me help you to see the light through your eyes,
Inhale the warmth with your breath,
Taste sweetness with your lips,
Hear music through your ears,
Touch softness with your fingertips,
And love fully with your heart.

Let me be you for a while.
Let me show you the things you need to be shown
The love you need to feel
Let me give back to you
What you gave to me.
