Ebony Sky

Your thoughts are getting darker
and you’ve withdrawn into yourself,
you’ve become so very quiet
and you’re not your usual self.

The clouds of sorrow have arrived
and completely filled your mind,
where lonely isolation
is all that you will find.

Dark shadows form around you
as you feel the deepest fear
and your heart starts pounding through your chest,
now you know the black dogs near.

The stars have fallen from your sky
with blackness far and wide
and no one sees the turmoil
that’s churning up inside.

With emotions scrambled every where
and your thoughts now not your own,
just know I’m here beside you, 
so you don’t have to fight alone

My ears are here to listen.
 My arms are here to hold.
My shoulder’s yours to cry on.
With my heart to warm your soul.

I’ll hold your hand and guide you, 
though I can’t take away your pain,
I’ll listen until my ears bleed,
If it helps you smile again.
