Don't Hide Away

I don’t question why you push 
Respect the silence you ask of time 
So concerned that no one knows 
No one has ever tried 

I’m reaching out but your reaching in 
Let go of guilt and let your life begin 
Take comfort in all you can 
The calm only masks 
What lies beneath you soul 

I hold a mirror in my hands 
Time will help with what you seek 
But silence will delay your peace 

It’s fear that drives you to this solitude 
It’s not your destiny 
Don’t deny the thoughts that hold you back 
Don’t hide away from me 

This endless slumber angers 
How long till you awake 
I’m lying here beside you 
The place from which you ran 

Patience is my enemy 
It’s a long way back from where we began 

It’s fear that drives you to this solitude 
It’s not your destiny 
Don’t deny the thoughts that hold you back 
Don’t hide away from me 

Silence won’t erase what brought you here 
Will you remember me or hold the hand of fear 
We may stumble in this life 
But living it will bring you out
