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
