On Those Dark Nights of the Soul

[Melissa]

A poem that I recently found that I had written three years ago.

I saw you on those cold, lonely nights,
lying there in your bed, late into the night.
As you reached out your little hand to me,
crying out to me,
how I longed to be able to grab it,
wrap it around my finger.
Oh, if you only knew how many times
I have wanted to hold you.
If you could only see what I see,
then you would no longer be afraid.
It tore my heart to see you hurt so.
I just couldn't leave you here
alone to fend for yourself.
All alone, so little and helpless.
I couldn't bare the fact of being separated from you,
not being able to look after you.
I want to show you the way.
I want to be with you.
I want to take care of you.
You weren't meant to live like this.
You were made for so much more.

Lovely.
