Nearly Gone

Will you be my lighthouse

As I drown here

Alone

Motionless

For I wish not to be saved

The fear is not enough

To stop me here

Falling

And waiting

I want to wish to be saved

Can you help me, save me

Is it possible?

Crying

Still hoping

That Someone will hear my pleas

If only I had the strength

To wish to stay

going from wishing not to be saved to wishing someone might help the speaker wish to be saved...
we need to want to stay....i see someone contemplating suicide...looking, searching madly for a reason to stay...to want to stay...to not want to do it...
and hopefully the speaker will find that before it is too late.

Thank you for reading and for commenting. I like to leave at least a sliver a hope in my poems like this because I believe there always can be hope, if it that means wanting someone to give them a reason to stay...
