Not Alone

How long will you drift on in sadness

Never seeing that I'm here?

How long will you cry out in pain

When I've been there to dry your tears?

You're terrified to take a step

Although I clear the path before you

So afraid to come to harm

Although I said I'd see you through

I've held your hand on the darkest days

When you were cold, you felt my embrace

I'm here to keep you safe and sound

To keep your feet firm on the ground

How long before you realize

What I would give to see those eyes

Light up in peace and happiness

No longer dimmed by all the stress

No matter what you're going through

I'm always here to comfort you

My love for you will not subside

No matter what you feel inside

Wow.
I love this, It kinda made me a bit emotional.
Thinking about how I once was like this with someone.
But I soon gave up, for they seemed to find a better light elsewhere. :/

How very loving and tender and the most important thing a person can know, no matter the age. That someone is really there for them, no matter what!

I love simplicity that is beautiful. There is a touch of true human emotion, and I don't necessarily feel for the writer, but for the recipient, as I am on of those dumbasses that has a hard time seeing people care about him and miss him.

I am not lying to you, this poem made me cry. Hard. This feels like it was written specifically to me, by a certain person that would say these exact words. Wow, how much can a poem speak to me? This really woke me up.
