Lost Friendship

You're falling away,

Slipping through my fingers.

I think of all the things I say,

To prevent the heartache going deeper.

I am reaching out to help you.

But you won't grab my hand.

All your nightmares come true,

As you sink into the sand.

I try to bear your burden.

I try to take your pain.
But I can only know then,

This ending's such a shame.

Please take my helping hand,

As I call your echoed name.

And pull you from the sinking sand,

And rid you of this pain.

But I fear that I am useless.

You yet continue to sink.

I don't think I can do this,

My spirit's just too weak.

Soon you'll have to disappear,

Your charming face will fade.

I will try to stay so very near,

Throughout these gloomy days.

Perhaps you may find your way,

Back to the life you had.

I away upon that glorious day,

When tears will not be sad.
