Persuasion.

In a sea of distress
In a manic-depressive state
In a secret world of chaos
In a battle of love & hate

I will take your hand & fight the horrific scene.
I will hold you near & shield you from the endless bad dream.

In a road of shattered hopes
In a room filled with darkness
In a place full of abandonment
In a valley of utter madness

I will stand before the car crash & conceal your view.
I will stay close by, we’ll not look behind, I’m with you.

In a world of selfishness & pride
In a world of animosity & hatred
In a world of nothing but broken dreams
In a world of people rendered jaded

I will sing to you softly, I will rock you to sleep.
I will keep you in these arms, kiss you while you weep.

In a secret place only we know
In a hidden spot with silence & clarity
In a car driving toward a road less traveled
In a quiet room we can claim as territory

I will be your anchor, I’ll keep you afloat without fear.
I will be. I simply will be anything,

just to always have you near.
