Somehow, Someday

Get Them Through

July 25, 2007

I’m holding on to everyone’s secrets
Now I’ve got no room for my own
I want borrow another conscience
But I hear they’re all out on loan

I’m crying and hurting for them
To get them all the way through
Because I want see what it feels like
To be a friend that’s what I’ll do

Never knew about thoughts and moments
And how much they could weigh
Just about as much as the world
I found that out the hardest way

Let their hearts rest easy tonight
I’ll stay up in the chair and rock
Back and forth and ride it out
Cutting the keys to all the locks

At the time the sun decides to rise
And hit an angle that warms the face
Everything and everyone is settled
And all is well and in its place

This started with the idea of dealing with other people’s secrets. You almost begin to feel what they feel… their guilt, pain, or struggle.

Maybe you feel this way because they don’t and these feelings need to run their course on someone or maybe you do it to keep them going and just living. To get them through.
