A darkness engulfs
Takes your breath
Beats you down
Steals your life

Deep in your mind
You wander paths
Of hopes dashed
Litter of regret

A toll this takes
On your mind
Your body
Your soul

I want to help
To give you comfort
To ease your thoughts
And give you calm

If for a moment
Or forever I could
I’d give to you
My strength, my resolve

But know this now
By you I will be
Weathering the storm
Inside your soul

Forever
