Not Alone

(You are not alone I am by your side I need you to know you were never truly alone my heart has been with you Every step) You've never been alone Not even in the echoing chambers of your heart I was always near A shadow in your light A whisper in the dark Even when you wandered so far Playing hide and seek with your own pain I followed Knowing that somewhere Deep You wished to be found again I searched for you In the theater of our lives among the crowds In the zoo of expectations Where the bars of doubt held you tight When you felt on display A case all in a world too harsh to touch I stood outside waiting hoping you'd see that my love was never too much You turned inward Cradling that infernal rage Locked behind walls built by the years A fortress of unspoken sorrow You refused the words Of this foolish sage Seeing in me the one who held the keys to your borrowed tomorrow But I wasn't the jailer Not the cause of your pain Just a lover Though it's frail Caught in love's delicate chain You are not alone Though I see you wish to be And it breaks me This longing for solitude For escape from me Please don't choose the darkness Or at least don't choose it without me Let us be forever I love you Through every storm we've weathered I am by your side Now and always forever tethered Not alone Never alone So long as our hearts remain If you dare to confide in me I will listen I will not turn away Even if your truths are sharp as daggers You have my attention my love I beg for your mercy For a chance to understand your wounds There are shadows we both carry Things we can't or won't see But I offer you my heart A compass to navigate the storm Let us not be alone Not in this world that often feels too wide (Too wide) Together we can face the chaos With love With patience With every breath we have I am here Megan I have always been here And I will be here forever Holding the light Guiding you home So you will never be alone (There is not forever I will love I will not turn away)
