I Heard You Crying

I heard you crying

I heard you crying
and groping through your hurting
scaling the harsh cliffs of denial,
and meanness and blame

my hands all knotted, and bound up
and restrained beyond reason
these borders defined
keep a wall ‘round your flame

I heard you crying in the stillness of silence
moving slowly through these valleys
with their thousand foot walls

I heard you crying alone
with the stars in your bedroom
if only you’d let me, I’d reverse your fall

If I offered to hold you so close,
tell me, would you let me?
behind stone walls of pride,
hiding closed and locked rooms of betrayal

how much would you gamble away
for a sanctuary of pure contentment
how hazardous is this rocky terrain
of souls, all too frail

I heard you crying in the stillness of silence
moving slowly through these valleys
with their thousand foot walls

I heard you crying alone
with the stars in your bedroom
if only you’d let me, I’d reverse your fall

what was it you said
in the middle of your dream
that now isn’t as important
as the day once seemed
seeking a place you once
caught a glimpse of in my eyes
standing down the obstacles
and embracing the prize

you’re curled up in blankets
the night still decended
it’s all I can do to retreat from
this advantaged refrain
your dreams so much better
than what you always feel waking
I yearn to embrace to absorb
and to heal all your pain

I hear you crying in the stillness of silence
moving slowly through these valleys
with their thousand foot walls

I heard you crying alone
with the stars in your bedroom
if only you’d let me, I’d reverse your fall
