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
