Never let me go

I was dieing but the thought of you,
Breathe life back into me
And it is that thought of you that will keep me alive
It will protect, shelter and shield me
From the harsh realities of this world

The image of you carries me
Like a raft across troubled water
Sailing through the blackened night
And the sea of loneliness

Keep me safe and secure
Free from harm and foul
Away from malice and hate
Stay with me and hold me close
Never let me go.
