I walk the barren path - 4. Do not fear
I can feel them creep closer, the fears, the doubts
they enter my head, they start to shout.
I look at my love but do not believe,
that the smile nor his grace is truly for me.
I look at myself and then back at him,
I still feel the same, is it a sin?
I tremble and shake, and start to feel sick,
as he walks towards me, bit by bit.
He kneels down besides me, I feel hands hold my face.
And instantly I feel like I'm perfectly safe.
He leans to my ear and starts to whisper,
'My love, my darling, what is there to fear?'
'You judge yourself harshly, way more than you should,
be confident, be strong, you're as every bit good.
As the next person which passes, yet I know them not,
for it is you who I know, it is you who I want.
So look into yourself and find deep inside,
the pride that is in you, let it out, be loud!'
I look into his eyes and see only caring,
I see his the love in his eyes and to whom he is sharing.
'I cannot right now, I need more time,'
It's ok' he says, 'take your time to shine'.
Tears glisten my vision as I look back at him,
and see pain in his eyes, of what has and what's been.
'I dont want you hurt, or sad, or down,
I want you to smile, and to bounce round and round.'
He embraces me now, strong arms wrapped around me.
I feel safe now and it is now I do see.
He loves me, no one else, his gaze one of concern.
I kiss him deeply, soon he will learn.
'I do believe you, my light, my fire,
I will soon be strong, I see your desire,
for me to believe, and I will, you'll see.'
His smile makes me soar, the voices are banished.
All the dark feelings are slowly vanished.
I slowly rise with him and together we stand.
Locked eye to eye, walking hand in hand
