I Know

by Elizabeth

Inside your mind a tangled mess
A thorny patch of pain
Hurt is taking over you
And making you insane.
I don't know exactly what it is
That's bothering you so
But whatever you are feeling
I am feeling too, you know.
No matter how bad things get
No matter what, I care
I can put my arm around you
And your pain help you to bear.
Cry out a single tear
And one will fall from my eyes, too
I've been in your shoes before
So if you want I'll help you through.
You need to be able to let go
So from pain you can be free
I've seen you at your best
I know what you can be.
I know you've been trying to push me away
But you could never make me not care.
And though I don't know the cause of your pain
I feel it....because I've been there.

I am always here for you. Always.
