I tried to stay with you until the sun appeared
Despite being pushed away and told my tries wouldn’t be any good
But I love you I screamed, into closed ears
I will rather be alone but come hold me what do you mean
Illness of a tormented heart infected with disbelief after taking so much punishment
Surely you, yeah you, deserve to be loved so don’t swear it can’t be
You would be fine at night but when days came you screamed NO
Said I didn’t know how many faults linger within
Earnestly I prayed for you to be healed and believe in purity again
I want all of you
Even your faults
Even your scars
I see more than your self-hatred
But behind depression’s bars you hold onto disbelief and I want you to use the keys to escape they’re in your back pocket, please
Get up and see
No whispered from your exhausted lips
Get away
Stay away
Come and stay
And I’m trying to fight our demons with one hand while holding you with the other
Open your eyes, see I love you more than you love yourself
Don’t look back for a chair let’s keep moving.

Beaten, I lay almost defeated reaching for your arms but they are folded
Standing over me saying you warned it isn’t worth it
Shaking knees preparing for another round
Until you see what I see, I’m going to keep fighting for your life
Thick tears and greater strength than before to bring you into the light
And I love you more than myself
Bleeding out, willing to help
Devastating deception’s grip
I’ll fight all of Hell and resist until you see grace around
You deserve to live
Help me fight the next wave
Even as you rather give in to the enemy’s deceptive narrative
Don’t
Don’t
Here they come
+
Worthless
Wasteful
Pointless
Stupid
Whore
Nothing
Dying
Unworthy
Lost
Broken
Poor
Invalid
Shattered
Don’t matter
Why
Why try
Quit
Cease
Fall down and worship the bottle
Razors
Pills
You’re never going to get anything right
God will never want you
You don’t deserve
Anything
Fold!
Fold!
Fold!
But you feel
So it’s real
Fold!
Fold!
Merge with us!
Fold!
Fall!
Die!
Why try
We’ll just come back!
He doesn’t care
No one does
It’s cold
Cold everywhere
Fold!
Fold!
We’ll take care of you
There is rest
With us
You’re not blessed
Trust
In what you see
Feel you’ll be
Wasting everyone’s time!
Just die!

It is not so
I love you more than the enemy knows and our Heavenly Father sent me to bring you home.
