BE

She doesn't want to hurt
Doesn't want to feel the sharp pang of regret
The slow cold steel of remorse
She wants to BE

I want to walk with her
In a world without arrows
Is that too much?

She didn't ask for pain
Didn't call down anger from the cruel skies
Or tempt the fickle sisters of fate
She wants only to BE

I want to comfort her
In a world without dying
Is that too much?

She screams inside for mercy
Screams from her depths to finally be made free
Or at least explain the reasons
She wants to BE

I want to hear her voice
In a world without crying
Is that too much?

I don't mean to hurt her
Don't wish to take her back to that bitter place
Of jagged corners and torn dreams
She only wants to BE

I want to lay her down
In a world without edges
Is that too much?
