This was originally intended as a song to my ex-girlfriend when we broke up. Unfortunately I can't sing a note so take the poem as a blessing. *smile*
Picking Up Pieces
Just close your eyes and think you are here safe with me
I'll give you all the things that you want and need
Give me the time and I'll show you the way I have come
I know it's frightening, I have been here before
I chose the easy way and ran straight out the door
In this world one soon will learn one just can't run away
Just take my hand, cause I love you my dear
I've been across the way, I know it here
Give me your trust and let me lead you
To a better place called love.
Don't run away from me, I mean you no such harm
Give me a chance and I'll follow where you belong
Just ask me what you need and I'll will give it my all
One can make it through here, I've done it all alone
But given one more chance I would have you along
Two makes it better than one, for this time
I know it's hard and you can't do it all
Some days it feels like you're destined to fall
Trying to find who this person you call yourself
Really is to you.
Look in the mirror and tell me what do you see
This is the face of a girl who is dear to me
If only you could see the wonderful things stored inside
Until you can see for yourself all these things in you
I cannot help and I guess I can't stay with you
Wish there was another way that this all could be done
I love you so and I can't lose you now
But I don't have an answer and I don't know how
So please just remember this heart still cares
So much for you and all you are.
So you're off to the world to find all the things that I see
No guarantees that you'll ever come back to me.
Still here's my hand if you need some good company.
