HAVE WE EVER MET BEFORE?


I recognize your face and also your eyes
But the rest of you may be a disguise
Something about you is just not right
For some reason I feel you need to be held tight
Something seems wrong.  Trust me.  I can tell.
Has someone hurt you?  Are you under their spell?
You seem to be frozen or in a state of shock
I need to hlep you.  I need the key for your lock.
I need to break the barrier, at least just to start
I want to be there for you.  Let me into your heart
The wall keeps getting bigger, row by row
What has he done to you?  I need to know.
For you are my friend, so please take my hand
And together as a team, we will stand
I will shelter you from harm, just open the door
But please tell me now...
HAVE WE MET BEFORE?
