Who Let You Go?

She’s so afraid
To let me get close,
So afraid I might love her
Like she deserves.
So afraid to let me
Fall in love with her.
She’s afraid I might see
How valuable she is.
She asks how I can see
Someone so broken and ruined?
So beautiful and precious,
How can I turn my eyes
Away from one like her?
She grabbed hold of my heart,
And I won’t let her let go.
How can I make her understand?
When will she believe
She’s no longer a piece of charcoal,
But a brilliant,
Dazzling diamond…
Broken and battered,
Hurting and alone,
She has forgotten her worth,
Forgotten what love feels like.
Will she let me take her hand?
Will she let me hold her?
Will she let me show her
Her incredible value?
I pray one day
She will understand it.
I pray I may be used
In a way that she will remember
How far she’s come.
I’m here,
And I’m never leaving,
She’s no longer alone,
I’m here to ease the pain,
I’m here to help bring solace.
Will you let me help?
