Shame - Rescuer

I swear I’d breathe out what’s left of me if it meant you were given the same

fighting chance

To run.

To feel the heartbreak of young age

To scream out your fears.

To face them

And here I am, a man left spread across a fear you’ll never know

Shame

To wish she could be free of this

Shame

For the times I’ve turned away

Given up on every broken thought too hard to face with the weight of

helplessness

Having nowhere to place the anger at a god built on assurances

It’s all I have not to fall apart watching her rallying to find the answer that

just isn’t there

I see her worn out.

I see the pain behind her eyes, watching you grow

Watching you grow

Still, I’ve found nothing like seeing her smile down at you
