Write You Into Being

If I sit beside you
All night long,
Will you tell me
Your life story?

Who are you -
Do you even know?
Give me you and a blank page
And I will write you into being.

A pencil and your soul,
Paper and my wandering mind.
If you don't tell me who you are
I will write you into being.

So afraid to be yourself,
So afraid of hurting someone else,
If I write you into being
Who will you become?

You feel so dead inside,
Like you only fadingly exist,
You're so cold - take my hand
And I will write you into being.

Don't be afraid.
Don't run away.
Let me write you
Into Being.
