As you fall

By EnlightenedFailure

As you slowly slip
As your mind races to find which way is up
As those around you seem to all be leaving

I Scream
So loud I scream
But trapped am I in this room
Unable to be heard

Running towards you…
Tears streaming down my face
I cannot catch you
So far are you now

My arms are open
My shoulder free
My ears open
My friendship there

Please turn around and see my face
Please see my intentions for what they are
Please let me be there for you as you are for me
Please oh please… don’t fall back to the dark

I left you once…
And missed so much
A mistake I could never make again
For true friends are hard to come by

Please oh please…
I run so fast…
I scream so loud…
