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
