The first time that I saw you
I felt as if I’d known you
Perhaps another time or place
You make me want to hold you
I see the words you’ve never spoken
The thoughts you leave behind
Traces of a different place
And of another time
You have a soft and gentle side
The one you hide from others
The side that should remain unshown
Should they ask? Don’t bother
It wouldn’t matter, you’d never tell
The things you’ve heard and seen
The people that you knew before
And the time spent in between
I long to crawl inside your head
When I touch your outer shell
To caress you and to care for you
And save you from this hell
From this cold and dark uncaring world
This evil place where we all must live
I want to take you from this place
And remind you how to give
To give your fears to another soul
To let them crawl inside
That deepest darkest place in you
Where your psyche runs to hide
I’d like to touch the deepest inner you
When I look into your eyes
I see someone that was left behind
Whose lost and hidden…but I still hear your cries
