I saw your name flash on my phone,
Didn’t know how heavy it’d feel to pick up,
Your voice was strong, but the words cracked through,
The kind of silence that leaves you bruised.
You tried to smile through the fear in your tone,
Said, "This isn’t where I thought my life would go,"
And I sat there frozen, searching for air,
Wishing I could take the weight you bear.
The world keeps spinning, but it feels offbeat,
The ground beneath us, shaking at our feet.
I want to hold you, I want to scream,
How do I fight what I can't even see?
But I’ll carry you when you feel weak,
When the nights are long, and the days feel bleak.
I’ll be your shadow, your steady hand,
We’ll stand together in the sinking sand.
And when the storm has stolen your wind,
I’ll remind you how to breathe again.
You laugh through tears, your courage breaks my heart,
Swearing you’ll fight, even torn apart.
We talk of dreams and the life still to see,
But I see the fear you’re hiding from me.
I’m helpless here, but I’ll never leave,
Your pain’s become the air I breathe.
So I’ll be the one to hold your gaze,
When you feel lost in the darkest maze.
The doctors speak, but they don’t know you,
You’re stronger than the storm you’re going through.
I won’t let the shadows drown your light,
I’ll be your anchor in this fight.
And I’ll carry you when you feel weak,
When the nights are long, and the days feel bleak.
I’ll be your shadow, your steady hand,
We’ll stand together in the sinking sand.
And when the storm has stolen your wind,
I’ll remind you how to breathe again.
So take my hand, we’ll walk through the fire,
Every step fueled by hope and desire.
You’re not alone, not in this fight,
We’ll chase the dawn and reclaim the light.
I’ll carry you when you feel weak,
When the nights are long, and the days feel bleak.
I’ll be your shadow, your steady hand,
We’ll stand together in the sinking sand.
And when the storm has stolen your wind,
I’ll remind you how to breathe again.
One breath at a time, one day we’ll mend,
And when you rise, we’ll begin again.
Through every tear and every pain,
I’ll be here until you breathe again.
