Tears


"I'm hopeless."
That's what I thought of when I sat
My heart was pounding and I lost all my senses
I didn't know where to start
What was breaking my heart

I cried a river
and that was all I could deliver
but it was enough for you to understand
that someone like me needed a helping hand

You don't know how much 
That meant to me
But my heart was touched
And now I can truly see.
