*(just don't forget)*

You stood still for too long
And now the roots of habit have twisted into the earth
You might sway with the breeze
But nothing moves you
(You wither away with the wind)

I wish I could take you away from your dark forest
Where the spruce 's limbs aren't as threatening
*Razor blades *-decorate- these Christmas trees
And flowers bloom regret (regress and decay)

Could I let myself get lost again
Searching for your soul that dwells in the shadows
I suppose the woods will always look the same
And I know it all to well

We've been through hell and I wish I could say we've returned
But you haven't come back
And I think I've conjured enough strength for us both

I penetrated the soil that covered my existence
Sometimes it hurts when I talk
I still feel like I'm speaking through sandpaper
But I have to let the words bleed out from that bad space

I just want to give you that extra boost
(To help you push through the dirt)
*Let me motivate you*
I just want to give you that extra hand
(To help you find your way out)
*Let me guide you*
I just want to give you my attention
(To help you understand that I hear you)
*Let me listen*




Change is hard and it may hurt
But you must now break the ties that bind
And step out of the box we buried years ago…
(I'm not asking you to be someone else)
Just find the real you




So when your ready just know I'm here
On the other side of the barbed wire fence
(Whispering memories into the air)
Hoping it will help you find your way home




I will wait Always … for… Forever



And if you choose to stay lost
*(Just don't forget)*
