If All Else Fails

You Were There

If All Else Fails


Did you see when they opened your eyes there was something more to you? 
Nothing bitter and nothing contrived as the world around you grew 
Could you blame me for pointing you out? 
Could you blame my watchful eye? 
Something more, 
something concrete and real and an answer for the why Please say you know me, because you do 
Please say you love me, 
because you sacrificed, 
saw me through 
You were there for me 
When I could not see 
You opened my eyes 
Much to my surprise 
Did you always see into the hearts of the writer and the muse?
Accentuating the glory of life as the body and mind fuse. 
I thank you now because you knew I was there, 
because none can compare, 
because you helped me believe, 
because the beauty now abounds the fury and the sound I thank you now Undeniable like the air we breathe 
Hidden fast like a sword we sheathe 
Blinding still like a focused light 
Morning comes in the midst of night 
Now you're gone and there's no one here Left me to fend, 
no regard to fear Paved the way for the road in store I'll always know you were there for me, 
you were there for me
