Save me from you

Save me from you

A Poem by Anna Marie

There was a beginng, a beginning i can only remember in my dreams 

There was an end, an end i can only see in my nightmares

If the ending was meant to be, why do i live in this nightmare forever

I want to wash myself clean, but if i do all thats left is me without you

I live thru this life each instance, each moment without you 

Whispering in my ear are echos of all the whatnots you sang to my heart

My heart skips a beat even still at the thought of just your name 

Skipping wishing stones across the river of time, from your hand to mine

I reach out  shaking as i call to you, you wont grab hold only brush past

Every  time i try you shove me further from your view, look into my eyes 

A passing wave, a drunken lyric, a painful memory, nothing i can grasp

YOure slipping through, or maybe you already have and i cant accept it 

Ive done my homework, done my prayers, done my talking to the shrink

Doesnt matter what i do, my feeling for you i cant wash away, i cant break

I see you falling, falling away-not just from me but from everything 

Helplessly watching you disappear and knowing only time ticks to take you

Id rescue you a million times, even to be left behind every single chance i take

Help me break this cycle of destruction, help me save our legacy from defeat

How can i reach you, how can i bring you back to earth, how can i save your heart 

Do you even want to revisit me and you, do you care if we flounder forever

You breathe life into me, each word, each song, each mention of my name

Cant you see id never turn my back on you, no matter how far you stray 

Its you, its always been you, you wont return….how can u let go, when i know 

When i know the truth-Ill always belong to you, and maybe that knowledge keeps you away 

All these memories you keep at bay, resulting in a knowledge that we belong me and you 

Im broken and lost, save me from you…..
