taking my hand
--------------------------------
my eyes are closed
looking deep inside
letting things come
giving them a place to reside
absorbed in thought
feelings abound
not sure what to do
unsure where to stand
wanting someone to hold
reaching out for a hand
i try to take hold
i reach farther out
my arms extend
my mind full of doubt

scared to death
not knowing what to expect
my arms slightly lower
my heart slowly shrivels up
there as a hand but now it has been taken away
ripped out and with it went part of my heart
a piece of me
a part that may never be known

i let my eyes open
the light clearing my head
my thoughts gather
my feelings no longer hide
looking down, i see a new hand
holding on tight
embracing me and my fright
a feeling of comfort as my eyes close once more

my eyes are closed
my heart slowly heals
i feel so close
it feels so real
taking comfort in them
yet still scared to death
i open my eyes
seeing that you haven't left.

stay by my side
hold me tight
keep me close
i don't want to be hurt again
i don't want to lose what feels so right.
