Help
I hear of you crying-
You ask of nothing-
Just help.
I can't be there-
Offer a shoulder-
Just help.
I can't remove him-
Make you forget-
Just help.
I can't
Lock a box-
Send it away-
Make you strong-
Confident inside-
Just help.
If I could,
I would,
Without a doubt,
Kill your pain-
Give you the world-
Make it rain-
Wash your fears away-
Forever-
My only pedestal
Would belong to you-
But I can't-
I'm sorry-
I can give you nothing-
Just help.
(dedicated to Amanda Straub)
