Analysis of Catch
Catch my tears when they are falling
For they are like precious glass
And if they brake so will my heart
Don't let me cry these tears of pain
Take them away, to a resting place for my
pain and suffering
Catch me when I am falling into despair
My tears blur the light called happiness
So catch me because you are my light
Never dim my light for if you do
I might just die inside
Catch my soul when it wants to run
Do not let it run from reality
Tell it that you are there with it
And that you will wipe away all it's tears
Then we can experience the happiness and pain together
