Slipping Away

You held me Close
Close to you
I felt so safe
So protected

But it seems
I am losing sight
I want to leave
To leave everything
Behind me
And forget

What has happened
I hate it here
This place is
Filled with hurt
I can't hold on anymore
I'm slipping from life
Slipping from the world
Slipping from you

Why is it so hard?
To be unafraid of the future?
It holds too many tragedies
Too many surprises

I need help
I need someone
I need you
I'm crying out
For help
I'm slipping away
