Wait for me

 

every moment passes taking its toll.

Remind me, I can not remember if it was lost or something they stole;

 

Forgive me, forget me, do not weep.

As I will only sink further drowning in the deep. 

With but a faint whisper, be quiet, be still. I just want to sleep. 

 

There is only silence beyond the cold

A throat that which sorrow took grasp, took  hold.  

Cry out! Cry out! I can not breathe;

 

Is there nothing I can do? nothing I can say? 

To implore you to holdout for another day.

 

Perhaps I am your friend or a stranger you have yet to meet.

Just take my hand I will help you to your feet.

Look me in the eyes and just stare,

You will begin to realize I do care.

Open your heart let me see, 

I will come, please wait for me.
