teach me how to love

©
carry my heart
away from the dark
teach me to love
like you do

carry my weight
of burdens and pain
teach me to hope
like you do

i need the light
of your deep eyes
to shine through
and pierce the night

i need you
i need your love
to wrap its way
around me

carry my heart
into your heart
and keep safe
in there

cause i need
your light
to make me all fine
what's left of me
is too broken

the loneliness is
so much to face
the cuts and the bruises
never go away

you and me together
make me all better
do i make you
better too

so teach me to laugh
teach me to dream
teach me to love
like you

xoxo, candace
