Only You

When the walls close in The room grows smaller the weight of the world Becomes overbearing When another stab is taken At everything I am When it seems my efforts At doing what’s right When it becomes harder To wake in the morning When a true smile Can’t find my face When sound of laughter Rarely escapes my throat When I look around Alone in No Man’s Land When my chest aches From pain I sustain When I want to bury myself Under protection of covers When I fight the tears Because I hate they’re there I only know of one thing You are there fighting Right by my side You push back the walls So I’m not squeezed in You relieve the weight Baring down on me You dress the wound Of the stab in my side Sleep comes when you’re there Waking up is much easier You find that smile And place it on my face When I don’t want to laugh The sound fills the room When I look behind me There you firmly stand You want nothing more Than to make the ache fade You pull back the covers To crawl in with me So you can wipe away The tears streaming down To hold me right then To heal my heart To be everything I need To make everything okay So you can see me smile So you can hear me laugh So I no longer cry So I no longer ache Your words Your embrace Your touch Your heart It takes only You To make it all go away
