A Flood of Relief

I will not let you down, I will not let you sleep under the depressing silence of the dreadful nights.

I will not let you down, I will not let you feel lost amid the appalling darkness of the streets.

I will not let you down, I will not let you taste the bitterness of the grim loneliness.

I will not let you down, I will not let you feel confined behind the bars of disdain and contempt.

I will not let you down, I will not let the wounds of your soul bleed, and keep watering your thorny black trees.

I will let my bleeding wounds hug yours, and all your pains into my pains will be flooded with relief.
