Like A Veil Of Tears Poem by Scott Forster

No one's on your god damn side
there's no-where to hide
caught in a tempest
the doors of despair and discovery open.
what's my pains though
to the flood that claimed the many
prayers for the japanese
and friends living with unease.
This isn't about me
those words are to you and you alone
I can't carry you
but I'll walk along side
as the pain cuts like barbed wire
as it rips you up inside.

Your so burned by betrayal
you grasp for love and lose sight
now your holding the shadows in the cornered room
calling for another world.

The world didn't turn away from you
It's still waiting right here
Hands and hearts still hold you
up to the shine of the sun.
Don't shut yourself away
We're calling for you
like the reborn spring seen day

I want to put pen to paper to spread my voice
but I've gotta to make it through
so I've not got much choice.
But

This isn't about me
those words are to you and you alone
I can't carry you
but I'll walk along side
as the pain cuts like barbed wire
as it rips you up inside.
