The Outside

It's difficult here 

Here on the outside

There is a wall between us

One that I cannot break

I cannot climb or jump high enough

Something in there has hurt you

I can't protect you

I can't even see you

This uncertainty is killing me

And there is nothing I can do

For I am stuck 

Stuck on the outside of your wall

I could walk all the way around the world 

There would be no way in

I can't tunnel under for the earth would cave in

This is so hopeless you are still trapped within

The outside is hard but I cannot compare 

I'm sure it is harder whatever you're facing in there

You must have it worse 

This all feels like a curse

Take me instead

They're damaging my friend

This is your fight

I am unable to join you

But when this is all over

I'll be waiting for you

The outside is tough but that's where I am

For the time being I'll do what I can

I'm sorry I cannot be useful much more

I'm waiting out here with needles and thread

For when you come out, you may be torn

I'll sew you up neatly from your toes to your head

I'd do this for you any time my dear friend

And from the outside my love I send
