I'll Stand by You

 Lost in the shadow

Straying from the light

I search for you in the darkness

Hoping you’re alright

 

I just want to embrace you

Tell you it’s okay

I just want to soothe you

Show you the light of day

 

Don’t be afraid to call

When the pain churns within

I’m giving you my all

If you’d just let me in

 

You don’t want to be lonely

I see it in your eyes

And I just can’t leave you be

In this web of pain and lies

 

I want to be your protector

Chase away your fears

I want to be your healer

Wipe away your tears

 

I want to be your friend

I want to ease your worries

I want to be that helping hand

And listen to your stories

 

I’ll be right there through it all

So it’s alright to cry

I’ll catch you when you fall

When all your tears are dry

 

I won’t abandon you

I’ll guide you to the light

I’ll stay strong and true

And never leave your side

 

You hide all the pain

Underneath the cold façade

You put your wall up again

But I see through it all

 

I’ll stand by you

Through death and darkness

Whatever you do

I’ll stand by you

 

You don’t understand

Why I want to stay

I love you, for god’s sake

So don’t push me away

 

I’ll stand by you

Through heartbreak and pain

Whatever you do

I’ll stand by you

 

I’ll never let you go

I’ll come with you

Wherever you choose to roam

I’ll stand by you

 

Lost in the shadow

Straying from the light

I search for you in the darkness

And your hand found mine

Author's Note

Dedicated to a friend who never tells me what's wrong when she cries... I hope swallowing all pain and hurt in to burn and crash within oneself doesn't have too many side effects.

Great write. As someone who keeps too much inside herself, these words, feelings and actions are what I long for to pull those things out from inside me.
And from my the friend side, it's how I feel about those I love as well.
wonderful piece.
