There you stand before me
With eyes full of pain
Such longing to be free
With tears falling like rain
No human affection
Building up walls
Trying for connection
A heart that stalls
No more questions
No more self doubt
Start with actions
Please don't checkout
All you need is a hand
Some kindness of strangers
Enough to withstand
A few rough encounters
Need to take the time
To chip at the stone
To hear heart's chime
Never again to be alone
