Beleagured

A savior is needed to pull me from this black void
Extricate me from this quicksand
And give me back a little joy
I know I want a helping hand
A place to hide
And someone by my side

But when the day is over
There's no one left but me
Despite the promise of you
All I want to do is leave
If I only knew
A way I could find
Some solace for my mind

I wish you would come
And shelter me safe from the storm
The raging waves and wind
You could keep me close and warm
To help me brave through to the end
But I'm battling it alone
Against all that's unknown
