Stay Until The Silence Ends

I’ve been hiding underneath my skin,

counting every reason not to let you in.

I tell myself I’m fine,

but you can hear the lie between every word I leave behind.

There are nights I disappear while I’m standing right beside you.

I’m afraid that if I speak,

you’ll see everything I’m trying to hide too.

I don’t need another answer,

I don’t need you to fix me.

Just remind me that I’m human when my own mind turns against

me.

So if my voice begins to shake,

if I don’t know what to say,

don’t mistake my silence for a reason to walk away.

Stay until the silence ends,

stay until I breathe again.

I don’t need you to save my life,

just don’t leave me alone tonight.

When the weight becomes too much,

when I can’t believe I’m enough,

hold the line, don’t let me go—

sometimes all we need is someone to remind us we’re not alone.

I know the darkness knows my name,

I know these scars don’t disappear.

But every time you say “I’m here,” the walls don’t feel so

close in here.

Maybe healing isn’t silence,

maybe strength is asking why.

Maybe saying “I need help”

is how we learn to stay alive.

I DON’T NEED A PERFECT ANSWER!

I DON’T NEED TO UNDERSTAND!

I JUST NEED SOMEBODY

WHO WILL TAKE MY HAND!

DON’T LET ME DISAPPEAR!

When my head says— “YOU’RE BETTER OFF ALONE!”

You say— “YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ON YOUR OWN!”

When I can’t find the strength to stay—

STAY.

When I can’t find the words to say—

STAY.

Stay

until the silence ends,

stay until I breathe again.

I don’t need you to save my life,

just don’t leave me alone tonight.

And if tomorrow hurts the same,

I’ll still be here to face the pain.

One more breath, one more day—

we don’t have to carry everything

alone anymore.

You don’t have to hide the scars.

You

don’t have to fight alone.

If you can’t

find

your way

back home… I’ll stay until you

do.
