Fall with you



You are a house that’s broken down
You are a house that’s burning
And everything in me wants to run
But that’s not love

If you fall, I fall with you
If you hurt I feel it too
Even if my heart turns black and blue
I will love you

I planted seeds down in the ground
Not every one is growing
When I am tempted to give up
I choose love

If you fall, I fall with you
If you hurt I feel it too
Even if my heart turns black and blue
I will love you

Beauty and light will fight for you
Goodness will rise
It shines for you

I came across this song today and it put words to the melody of my heart today.  I needed to be reminded that as far as I fall, I am not alone.  I haven't been able to talk to many people yet, but I have been so grateful for the outpouring of support and for friends who are willing to fall with me and fight with me and hurt with me.  There is no right thing to say to someone in this place, no words that make the pain less.  But, there has been something healing about friends and family willing to sit with me in my pain and let it be okay that nothing is okay.
