Bridge to Better Days

Close my eyes.
Fantasize.
Recall the past
Where simpler times
Held me fast
And in my grasp
Contentment thrived.

I knew my way.
Night or day
My path was clear
And I could stay
All of my fears
But now these tears
They fall unchecked.

I can't steal the pain you feel
But mother
Let me mother you.

Was it ill wishes
Or was it just fate?
The suffering that takes you and makes you
Different,
But not always better.
You might be different
But I think you'll be better.
Darling, you'd better.

Take my hand.
Can you stand?
Let's leave this place.
We will span
What can't be erased.
In my embrace
Begin to heal.

I can't steal the pain you feel
But mother
Let me mother you.

Was it ill wishes
Or was it just fate?
The suffering that takes you and makes you
Different,
But not always better.
You might be different
But I think you'll get better.
Darling, you'd better.
