I wish I could be there by Gabrielle L GervaisI wish I could be there with you
To help you stand up
To lean on your broken body
Because mine is crumbling
And I breathe longer knowing you breathe too
Even though its not next to me
When you cant hold on anymore
I wont be there to carry you up
And when you cant help but laugh- you are so happy
I cant be there to smile with you
And when I cry
You dont know
And when you sob
Im somewhere else
Will I ever hold your hand again
And not want to let go?
When we all fly off- it wont be as hard
But Im the only one who is gone
And knowing you are together without me-
Takes my heart and blinds my sight
And numbs my fingers
So I have to overcome gravity
Just to breathe
