Here I Am
When, in the night, your strength slowly wanes
your future a dark unknown even left to breathe
as you grapple demons inflicted ghostly pains
and stare into swirling abyss not of your weave
Alas! The end no sight seen upon which to cleave
Here I am, the pillar of my body still stands there
to surround the air while your fight continues on
in my arms solid cradle, rest against swollen glare
and when the morning comes in the pink of dawn
I will lift you up even through my shredded song
For you are my angel given me my humbled life
on that spoken day of youth, you as my sighing bride
I’ve held your hand though all the love and lowly strife
Crossed each bridge over waters raged or blue aside
Now, in this untested darkness, tear down my pride
What you need and desire freely, I will try to give
if the journeys given test is for months or years
be no matter, each day a gift to completely live
though I pray, beckon you to clearly fought cheers
while I hold you tonight adrift in this hells sphere
