Being´There¨ for Someone.
For so many years , l was there for you.
All those years , l was there for you,
Why, Oh! Why Does this happen now?.
Now that l am so far away,
Hard as l tried l just could not stay,
After all those years l was there for you.
All those nights that l talked you through,
You cried and cried , but it got you through.
Till the next time.
l cried while mopping up your blood,
You smiled with relief that it gave to you,
OH Now Why now? Why now?
After all those years l was there for you.
l can still talk you through, our phones are at hand´
You know day or night l´m still here for you,
But it´s not the same, l do understand,
You say ´Never Again¨ you promise,
Till next time.
After all those years l was there for you,
Now l´m too far away to mop up your blood,
to cry while holding you tight in my arms,
to tell you you´re worth more than blood on the floor,
Yes all those years l was there for you.
Oh! Why can´t l be there now for you?
Now you´re so ill you can barely talk.
Phones not much use as you struggle to slur
a few words of love, a sentence not formed.
l guess what you´re saying or trying to say,
Then leave you to sleep, Try another day.
After all those years l was there for you,
A visit, l tried, but you hardly knew me,
A sombre flight home, my heart it was breaking,
remembering times when we´d both hug , while aching.
Aching with pain of the state of your mind.
Wishing that others could at least be kind
Then you could have hope, even though l´m afar..
After all those years l was there for you.
None of us know how our own story ends.
But l beg you to not give up hope.
Fighting is hard, you´re tired, l know,
But who says you can´t make it through, My Friend.?
After all those years l was there for you,
It sickens me thinking of NOW........
Why did this not happen before,?
When l was there , so swift to your door..
You´d cry..´l´m so sorry´...l´d say ´Don´t you worry´
and better you´d get........
until next time.
But this is now different , can´t walk or talk
Doctors just tell us to wait.
They cannot be sure if better you´ll get
Or if your life will be Hell.
It´s so hard to grasp that this happens Now!
Now that you´re so alone,
l pray for an answer for God knows l tried
During those years , so many years,
All those years l was there for you.
