Heartless Way
Hand reached through
to pull you through
Ill always do that for you
I held you closely, caring closely
you drench my shirt in tears
But after all the years
I've lifted, held you up
said words to build you up
You stand firmly now
tred your own ground
walk side by side, you and I
til that day I tripped fell
stumbled down swiftly
You never broke pace to lift me
Striding on, not looking back
I lay there, looking on dumbly
Its your heartless way that numbed me
