Don't Hide Away

I don’t question why you push
Respect the silence you ask of time
So concerned that no one knows
No one has ever tried

I’m reaching out but your reaching in
Let go of guilt and let your life begin
Take comfort in all you can
The calm only masks
What lies beneath you soul

I hold a mirror in my hands
Time will help with what you seek
But silence will delay your peace

It’s fear that drives you to this solitude
It’s not your destiny
Don’t deny the thoughts that hold you back
Don’t hide away from me

This endless slumber angers
How long till you awake
I’m lying here beside you
The place from which you ran

Patience is my enemy
It’s a long way back from where we began

It’s fear that drives you to this solitude
It’s not your destiny
Don’t deny the thoughts that hold you back
Don’t hide away from me

Silence won’t erase what brought you here
Will you remember me or hold the hand of fear
We may stumble in this life
But living it will bring you out
