By My Side

My dear, you need not hide behind me
Come, take your place at my side
Let me chase away the fear that resides in your eyes
So you may once again be allowed to see
Come be by my side.

My dear, you need not run from me
Permit me to place my hand upon your breast
So I may rescue the heart imprisoned in your chest
Allowing your emotions to once again be free
Come be by my side.

My dear, you need not fall into doubt
Speak the words that have been trapped in your soul
So that you may smile and drown your unforgotten woes
Darling step out from your internal darkness, come back out
Come be by my side.

My dear, take my hand
I will chase the fear from your eyes
I will expose your heart to the world once more
Release the words in your soul, you need no longer fear
For if you look,  I am now by your side.

    Sensitive and caring with an understanding of the past scars/pain that can hold one back from giving and truly living..gently encouraging to trust again....to believe in their self, in love, and life once more, beautiful!!!!
    (That's how I read it anyway!)
    I Loved "I'll expose your heart to the world once more"
