This Little Space

I know things are strange now

The happy things are stained

Emptiness prevailing

Your stars drowned in shame

It all seems unstable and stable far away

And the anger just keeps looming

As you surge through your days

I'm feeling your frustration

And I'm sensing shades of pain

But I'm lightened by your comfort

In the child that we made

I'm amazed by your strength here

And I'm angry all the same

I'm standing so distant

From the core of your pain

The demons that have chased you

Have caught you on your trail

Emotionally vulnerable

Their timing sucks

Defenses frail

But your heart is such a strong one

It will seek those brighter days

And I will love you through these moments

And I'll be here all the way
