Let Me Near

I will drive away your fear
Dry the cascading tear
But you won’t let me near.

As close as I get, as hard as I try
You still avoid me
Yet I don’t pass you by.

You are hurting, I’m here.
I’ve made the way clear
Why don’t you let me near?

Is there something that I don’t know?
Are you hiding what must be shown?
Stains, that should be clean?
Wounds, that can’t be seen?

I took the brunt of all that men go through
I bled, and died, and conquered the tomb!
Rose again and promised life anew.
And I did all of this just for you.

I would like to take your fear
And wipe away the falling tear
Turn all your muddy waters clear
You just have to let me near.

To the Withdrawn,
– Caleb
