You Already Know


I'm hanging on by a thread The world shredding my soul I'm so afraid of falling in I come to you in seclusion And fall to my knees, Begging for life i tell you everything My pain and my joy My every struggle and sorrow I feel your eyes on me As I pour my heart out My secret thoughts revealed Every feeling explained I'm afraid to life my head I hide my tear-streaked face But your voice, soft and sweet, Whispers, "I already know" You cradle my broken heart I silently absorb your unconditional love How did I forget? Your adoration for me Disallows a limit to exist On the endless flow of wisdom You readily provide for my troubled soul You know I need your help How do I get through this pain? Gently you dry my tears And whisper, "You already know" The answers I seek are already planted within me Your tender embrace Permits me to remember Sweet relief brings peace to my mind Renewed determination grows within me And I won't ever let it die.
