Walking With You
Walk next to me so I don’t get lost-
I’ve c r e a t e d misery and paid the cost.
sweet sorrow for you
longing redemption for me
saddened by your eyes
Walk behind me so I can’t see your sadness-
I’ve c r e a t e d your sorrow and constant madness.
depression lurking
accidents sometimes fatal
regret fills my soul
Walk in front of me so you can guide my light-
I’ve c r e a t e d darkness and stole your sight.
pardon my actions
I’ll give you reasons to stay
without you…I’d die
Walk far away from me so I don’t hurt you anymore-
I’ve c r e a t e d a loss for passion; your heart I tore.
living without you
wishing I could walk with you
brings me to my knees
