Needing to Find You Here

by LoveStoryMermaid

Elena had lost both her parents (as problematic as they had been) and her aunt, all because of her in the span of a month, Alaric had become like a father and he left, Stefan was nowhere to be found, her brother was doing drugs again and Caroline had thrown way too big a party. I figured the girl had earned a song dealing with it all. Words/lyrics belong to me.

Needing to Find You Here

I need a moment because these walls are crashing down

And everywhere I go, it seems there's no escape.

Are you there? Are you near? Because I need you here.

---

You used to tell me all I needed to hear.

You used to hold me close and whisper comfort in my ear

But now I'm alone and I don't know anymore.

You were my light and I gave you all I had.

---

I've been strong for so long, but I'm just a girl

And the supernatural threatens to consume me now.

I stumble outside and collapse to the ground.

That's when I felt you there, thought I heard you say again

All I needed to hear.

---

There's a hand on my shoulder, calling me inside.

And I want to stay here on the ground, but you need me to be there.

I needed just a minute to let the walls consume me

But you taught me to be stronger than that.

You're not here, but I feel you near and I will find you now.
