A Friend

Alone with your thoughts
Slowly drifting away
Shielding yourself from pain
To you, love is the same

Alone with your heart
Slowly breaking apart
Shielding yourself from love

Alone with your tears
Slowly becoming your fears
Betraying your reflection

Alone with your emotions
Slowly drowning in your hesitations
Reaching for my hand

Alone with the thoughts you hate
Patiently I wait
Holding out my hand to you.
