Sometimes

I may get scared and try to run

I’m sorry in advance.

Others left and watched me walk,

Not taking the chance

To pull me back and quell my fear

Or try to ease my pain.

And that’s a solitary road

I’ll never tread again.

This patched up, battered, stitched up heart

I’d surely love to share.

So long as I possess the promise

you won’t leave it there

in the barren, cold, lonely, dark

known as agony.

Just hold it close, don’t let go

If you do love me.

I see the light now at the end

Of the den despair.

Yet at times you may reach for me,

 And find your hand meets air.

No more will terror rule my heart

My Father gave the power

To give again and love within

To stay with you, not cower.

Hold fast to me dearest love,

Please be patient yet.

And know the ardor you desire

From me is what you’ll get.
