FORCED SOLITUDE

COME AND FIND ME IN MY SOLITUDE

Come and find me in my solitude
     Look for me behind closed doors
     Find me in the deepest closets
     Trembling like the cold has found me
          Under beds.
Come and find me in my solitude
     In the dark tendrils of my mind
     The frightful demons of my nights
     Help me to find me outside my prison
          And days.
Come and find me in my solitude
     Look for me and don't let go
     Hold my hand and warm me
     Force me to daylight, face myself
          Heal me.
Come and find me in my solitude
     Sit next to me and hold my hand
     Be here with me and don't judge me
     Be my friend, just love me, just be
          Just be.
