If You See Him

So unexposed to any warm light to ever lay upon me
I was just broken for the places I've been
Until he walked my miles in life right beside me
Oh, I was never really the same again...

I seldom get to keep what you hand me, Dear Lord
So, if you see him, tell him, my heart's waving inside
Tell him, you witnessed the tears he never did get to see
Cause, nothings harder then an unfair good-bye...

I just withered away here all in one quick moment
I'm this tiny rock, among many, but barely a stone
I linger out there within the dusty brown fields
But, tell him, I'm not strong enough to stand on my own...

So, if you see him, tell him, the light in my eyes have gone
I close my eyes now to the rhythm of my broken heart
If you see him, tell him, he forgot to kiss the winds
The ones he used to calm when we were apart...

If you see him, Dear God, tell him I can't find the sun
The silhouette of trying to forget is here to stay
Ask him, Dear God, just why he chose a whole new mile
That he's allowed the night to just take me away...

How can I hang on when I have nothing to hang on to
Tell him, I was really there he just never looked back
If you see him, tell him, I've lost myself in this storm
Cause, I swore I'd only die one last time and I have...

My lease with peace now runs as dry as the fields
But, before long, it'll drown with my own pouring rain
The waters he promised to shelter me from for a while
Oh, God, I will never be the same again...

So, if you see him, tell him, he can now fly free
But, tell him, God, that it will always haunt me...

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Saunni, this is so very sad, sweet friend, my heart cries out to you and I understand your tears, but I know deep down that He has not turned His back on you and He will give you a hand and help you from under the waters and He will never fail you with His love! (kiss on cheek) Hang in there, sweet friend, love will always find a way, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Saunni,
powerful and haunting write. I just ached when I read it. *HuGS*

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
