Hiding
Coffees, hot chocolates, and hugs
You’re one of a kind
I sang my song, you sing yours
You’re too much on my mind
Hellish beats
Pounded out your free-will
You came to me but then
You went back there still
To the one who beat you
You think that’s love now
But that’s a vow
You couldn’t stay away from
Now you’re hiding on me
I can’t help but think
Can’t believe you’re gone
In no more than a wink
I told you to call me
Did I do something wrong?
Can’t count on anyone
To help you be strong
Should I have hugged you more?
Should’ve made you a promise
It’s not supposed to bother me
But it’s my fault you’re amiss
You’re under my skin
You’ve infected me
I can’t shake your spell
You got power, don’t you see
Where could you be?
D’you even know where you are?
As our hearts beat with fear
Girl, you’re my little star
Fight with all your strength
Against those who abuse you
Escape, tear them to pieces
Go to a place you truly value
God, give me another chance
This time it’ll be right
I’ll rescue you, save you
Long before the morning light
But before you come home
Only rescue yourself
Discover who you are
Says a book on my shelf
Will you ever feel safe?
Did you ever really trust?
Can you risk believing?
In your own well-being, you must
For one so young
You have taught me so much
My lesson is to yearn
For care, compassion, and such
My door’s always open
I’ll share this with you
Just return when you’re able
There’s not much else to do
If you don’t ever come back
And I never see you again
I’ll miss you forever
And hope you’re not in pain
We are tightly woven
Our fates forever bound
I can only say I love you
And pray you’ll be found
