Pull Back
If only it were light
That you desperately needed,
But it's not.
I'd light up your world
So you'd have to spin around
And rethink it all--again
But the tragedy is
You're gone
Lost in your mind somewhere
You paint your being cold
With a brush of despair
I'm not a miracle worker
Time won't be bribed back around
I want to save you from yourself
But you won't be found
You refuse to acknowledge
Reality.
Refuse to see truth among lies
Ignore all my pleading and reasons
Shove them away with the tears in your eyes
Hatred colors your world
Selfishness paints it in black
I would reach for your hand if only
I knew you would not pull back
