Temporary

Sitting here,
Desperate
Dying to be needed.
You are holding out
Your hand to me
I stretch,
But I just can’t reach you.
Inadequacy is unbearable.
I’m the only one
Who can save you,
But I can’t…
I’m useless.
Tattered and torn
I’m lost in the present
Unsure of where to turn
You need to be saved
But I can’t reach you.
You’re slipping…
Grab my arm..
I need you,
Don’t leave me
Don’t you dare give up.
Tears stream down my face
As I look into your eyes
And see the resolve
You knew this would be the end
Yet you brought us both here
Better you than me right?
That’s not how this game is played.
God,
Give me the strength I need.
Don’t let this be the end,
It can’t be the end.
I swear you let go,
I’m coming with you.
Now reach harder for my hand
I know you can reach me.
Safe in my arms
You’ll stay forever,
Never again,
Will I ever let you go.
