Hope You Love Me Anyway

Sometimes I'm in pain;

It feels like it's all slipping away,

I can't explain it, fix it, or dismiss it;

I just want the pain to stop.

You brought light where there once was none;

Your love filled me with hope,

Times like these I want to believe again;

Fear has replaced my faith and I am at its mercy.

These days are fewer in between;

Less than there used to be but still too many,

Your voice soothes me, takes away my fear;

I reach for it, it's not there.

I have to find my own way out but don't always know how...

I hate admitting that sometimes I need you;

I've built walls around my heart,

You are the only one who can knock them down;

I am weak, flawed, fallible.

Hope you love me anyway...
