Be there


Days become darker
Thoughts begin to match
Nights become lonely
Life becomes detached

Silently surrendering
Brave face appears
Hurt behind the smile
Pain behind the tears

A shrinking recluse
A world unable to face
Life now a struggle
A struggle to replace

A friend came calling
Answering a cry
Didn’t want a reason
Never asked for a why

Time spent talking
Shadows disappear
No judgement given
Life back in gear

Days becoming lighter
Thoughts begin to match
Nights no longer lonely
Life no longer detached
