DON'T TURN AWAY AGAIN (a song?)
DON’T TURN AWAY AGAIN.
When I reached out to you
You always turned away
When I called out to you
You didn’t hear me say
Hold on to my hand
Help me understand
I need your love…
Don’t turn away again.
I know I wasn’t like her
But I have feelings too
I promise I’ll try real hard
If I get some love from you
Dry away my tears
Drive away my fears
I need your touch…
Don’t turn away again.
I turn to you
I look at you
With pleading in my eyes.
You turn to me
You look at me
And it comes as no surprise…
As you turn away again
Not caring for how I feel
You hold onto another child
And this hurt is much too real
As I close my mind
My heart becomes blind
As the storm begins…
You turn away again.

I have just played through with your lyrics on a slow Cm, Fmaj (x4)Gmaj Fmaj for the verse, with a Dm, Cm with variation for the third stanza / chorus. and was quite taken with the loveliness of your words and structure.
Some of the lines may be added to by the repetition of some phrases,
'Not caring for how, (for how) I feel' and, 'You didn’t hear (didn't hear) me say' for example. and some may be phrased for effect, such as, 'I know..., (pause)... I wasn’t like her', but these are just my thoughts upon playing through acousticaly your words to a gentle strumming pattern.
(A song?) - A song definitely, with great lyrics.
Thank you, Abi, for this morning's lyrical repast.
