I sat in silence
Behind the door,
So tight.
Hiding from,
The world.
He saw me like a shadow
Stitched to the floor
Afraid to move,
Afraid to breathe.
My eyes betrayed me again
Idle tears flowed again
For every grief I've swallowed,
For every ache buried,
Under the dust of unsaid words.
Holding my face
Words he said;
"I'm with you,
No matter what"
In his arms
I let the fear go
And his heart whispered
"You're safe, you're whole"
Behind the door,
So tight.
Hiding from,
The world.
He saw me like a shadow
Stitched to the floor
Afraid to move,
Afraid to breathe.
My eyes betrayed me again
Idle tears flowed again
For every grief I've swallowed,
For every ache buried,
Under the dust of unsaid words.
Holding my face
Words he said;
"I'm with you,
No matter what"
In his arms
I let the fear go
And his heart whispered
"You're safe, you're whole"
