I wrote this awhile back, but in light of recent events it really hit home with me.
God Bless!
Stand By Me
Come with Me
Come chase Me
Draw your ever-wandering eyes away from the darkness
Tear them from the poison scrawling up from the floor
Can't you hear Me screaming
Can't you see My tears streaming
I'm calling for you
I'm begging to you
Don't I notice all your "friends" seeping in
Don't you think I notice all the smiles you give to them
And in the chill of night
Who do you think will come and rescue you from all your creative lies
And as I stand by
No, I won't let you take the last of a good thing
A promise is a promise
And who I am bears weight in what I can do
What I could do
What I won't do
What I should do
And in the morning after, you shall awake and recoil at the sight
Broken and shattered at your own request
You beat yourself at your best
And no one will be left to blame for the shards hanging in the frame
Or the chaotic way you'll try to refrain from wondering
The distant sound of your own name floating past your very lips
A foreigner in your own right according to last night
And only then will you try to rationalize
And I will try to rectify
