Here for You

My broken heart will never heal

So don’t bother asking how I feel

I’d have to lie and use that tired line

Saying, “I’m fine. Just doing fine.”

Received awful news and felt  I'd drowned

Since then, I’m just a walking wound

Can’t forget that fateful stab

When it begins to heal, I pick that scab

In a time and place if I shed a tear

It’s not about what it may appear

For if I ever break and cry

It’s because I can’t help, even if I try

This sadness always gripping me

Is because you hurt physically, emotionally

Wish I could absorb all your pain

I’d do it then and again and yet again

Every time you bruise, I feel a sting

Wish I could give you everything

But my hands are tied, only God can act

And my heart has broken with that fact

And every time you hurt, I bleed

Wish I could give you all you need

Wisdom, heart, my very life

That I can’t, cuts like a jagged knife

When young, you laughed and played

Wish those days had always stayed

Now you are gone and grown

You handle tribulations on your own

You’ve conquered all your challenges

Ignoring all the damages

You’ve risen fast and risen far

And I’m so proud of where you are

My love for you is bright, pure and true

And I will always be here for you

My love for you is bright, pure and true

And I will always be here for you
