Let Me Help

Lavish curtains swirl around my silhouette
Red against black
Covering the writing on the walls with flecks of embers
From the fire in my chest.

I want to help, all of me yearns to take the pain away
But how can I, with this helpless care,
If I don't know what to say,
If I don't know how it got there?
You mean more than you think
In my eyes of glistening sapphires
And I would hate to see you sink
In the vengeful waters capturing your heart.

Please, let me help you, let me help take away the hurt
I promise I won't hurt you, I could never,
But you have to let me first
For you I'd face the hardest endeavor.
I hate seeing you ache,
If you let me help,
I'd hold you together so you won't break,
But only if you want me to stay.

Please, let me help you.
