"Somewhere out there"
~ STILL HERE~
I watched you as you sat alone last night,
I whispered to you, everything is going to be alright.
As I saw you weeping, I could not understand,
As I reached for you........ you did not take my hand.
I could see the heart break on your face,
The pain you showed, made my own heart race.
I sat and watched you for what seems like hours,
Wishing I could help you, if I just had the power.
Why would you not let me touch you, hold you a while?
Why did you not hear me, not give me your smile?
I could hear you moan OH GOD how can this be?
How could this dear one be taken from me?
Then suddenly I remembered, what had brought you such fear,
I want to tell you, that I left my body...... but I am still here.
