Playing Your Part For You
I miss your comforting hand patting my back,
The scent of your skin,
When are you coming back?
Now it's my hand on your shoulder.
I'm the one saying it'll be okay.
We just have to take it day by day.
I'm looking for your arms to hug me.
I'm searching for you words to guide me through.
But they aren't there.
Now it's my turn to care for you.
And I'm trying to understand why you act this way,
Pushing all help and hope away.
But I cannot comprehend,
Why you want this to be the end
You don't really, do you?
Confide in me the truth.
I must know,
Do you really want to go?
You can get better, my dear.
I swear, we're here
To help. We all care.
I know this isn't fair.
That's it, reach out and take my hand.
We'll come up with some kind of plan.
This is just a bump in the road.
You'll live past this, grow to be old.
And you will make it through.
That much I promise you.
Please don't stop fighting.
Please just keep striving.
Just keep breathing, I need you in my life.
