untitled
I saw you from across the room
Wrapped up in your cloud of gloom
It shook me up inside to see
Someone distraught so outwardly
I wanted to wrap you up in my arms
To keep you safe from any harm
To hold you close and squeeze you tight
Whisper: "Everything will be alright."
The only reason I didn’t go
Was that you name I did not know
Never before had I seen your face
So I could not give you my embrace
