Let me hold your hand, dear one
Let me sit by your side
Let me be the gauze that soothes
Your troubled heart and mind 

You don’t have to say a thing
I can see it in your eyes
Your spirit is broken and bruised
Hiding away from any light

Let me cloak you in my love 
Let me take you far away
From the maddening, saddening world
Into a twi-lit space 

In these gentle shadows stay, dearest
For as long as you should need 
And I’ll sit here beside you
As you breathe and as you heal.
