Chapter 11: You Catch Me

Maeley’s vulnerability opens her heart, to Jonathan.

You Catch Me

Overload of my senses

I’m vulnerable, with no defenses

Diminishing breath in my chest

Am I bleeding out from emptiness

You say you can heal me

You say hold to my arm tightly

Your love is like a lantern in my

Dark maze of pain

So I follow you

I circle around back to blame

For the fire, mud and overdose of the rain

You hold me and whisper, “decay makes the forests grow again”

Yea, death is fodder for change

Then you say you can heal me

You promise you’ll tread lightly

Your love is high like hydrogen

Yet soft like break of day

So I follow you

I follow you though I can’t see

Yea I follow

Then I fall into you

I’ve barely caught you when you catch me

You catch me

Oh, you catch me

You catch me

I’m falling down

I’m falling down

I’m on the ground

When you catch me

You catch me

You say you can heal me

You promise to tread lightly

With your love I find myself

On the ocean shore, my hand in yours

So I follow you

I follow you though I can’t see

Yea I follow

Then I fall into you

I’ve barely caught you

When you catch me

You catch me

I’m falling down

I’m falling down

I’m on the ground

When you catch me
