Hold Her Up

- originally written August 15, 2007 -

The ground is trembling beneath her
And her wings can't carry her anymore
Visions and dreams have begun to blur
All this pain is getting too hard to ignore

What she cries out for in her heart
Is something she will never speak of
She holds herself worlds and worlds apart
As far as the ground is from the sky above

All her walls of protection are crumbling
The scars she tries to cover become exposed
Everywhere she turns, demons are mumbling
She prays as she holds her eyes tightly closed

All she wants is for a man to hold her up
As all her dreams come crashing down
As the dam she has been holding back breaks
For him to make it so that she wont drown
