Run Away With Me

You bear the weight of worlds unseen,

Shadows stitched into every one of your seams.

I feel them, heavy, pressing tightly,

Yet still, you stand.

Yet still you fight.

I’d be your white knight if you'd let me,

Not to shield but to set you free.

Not to fix, and not to mend,

But to help you breathe,

To help you bend.

Let’s leave this place called life behind,

For a moment,

For a time.

Let the wind steal our sorrows,

Let the stars rewrite tomorrows.

Don’t close off, don’t shut me out,

I am here now,

Through fear and doubt.

Not a savior, not a chain,

Just a hand to hold through pain.

Run away with me, not to hide,

But to find the part of you that is still alive.

And when you're ready, when maybe you believe,

We'll return, lighter

Healed

And

Free.
