Let Me In.

i want to hold you tight and not let go, at least not for tonight.
i want to hold you so you would know that not all's in vain, and it's not all that bad.
i want to make your tears go away.
i want to say the right words to make your pain go away.
i want to do the right thing so you would not feel that nothing's worth it.
i want to bring the light into your life again.
i want to see you smile.
will you let me?
seeing your pain and your tears hurt me so.
just watching you in pain hurts me more than if i had been shot a million times.
bleeding, i know i would not cry in pain.
but seeing the hurt on your face and the emptiness in your eyes,
it hurts me more than anything in the world.
please, don't cry.
let me take the pain away, or at least lessen it.
let me in.
don't shut me out.
this selflessness, i never thought existed in me,
but perhaps in trying times,
you see that vulnerable part that you never thought existed.
i saw yours today.
i caught a glimpse of the old you.
don't give up on life, just like that.
there could be much more.
let me make that up to you,
let me try.
i can't tell, what i should say or do to make it better.
perhaps nothing i could say or do would make it better,
but let me try.
let me in.
don't shut me out.
