Kindred Spirits
There was a time i would cry crimson tears,
Swallowed my fears with my hate and sorrow for years.
I looked to the sky searching for my saviour.
Then i was sent a grief stricken angel.
Who shared my pain.
You taught me how to drown my shame.
Showed me sisterly love with your own demons to tame.
Ill wrap myself up in a cocoon to shield me from the moon.
A giant ball of light shining on my sins and my plight,
Then draw the curtains make my soul as black as the night.
Thats what i would do just to have you close.
instead of talking to ghosts.
I would have you to hold.
take my spirit and sculpture and mould my lonliness away.
Your blood shot eyes stare back at mine.
I want to save you this time.
Not with hate or with crime but with brotherly love in mind.
And so as we slowly climb these stairs that we share,
with emotions and care.
Ill help you out when you fall down, dive in when you drown,
place a crown on that frown.
So you can stand up and be proud that you saved meeeeeee.
