I’ve been

Calling out to you like an SOS, and yet you stand there as if you can’t hear me.

Am I too late, and now am I a ghost to you? I wave my hand in front of your face, and you do nothing.

Not even a blink of the eye and I wonder if I am a goner, and there is no saving me now.

But the truth is you don’t want to save me, and I would say how can I blame you because I’ve put you through so much.

But that’s not the case, for it was me who saved you first, and somehow, I now live the life you once got saved from.

And when I reach out, you stumble back like this is the first time you’re seeing me, and you don’t want to save me as you smile and walk away.

Because to you, there is no going back, and if you help save my soul, you might lose yours again, and you don’t feel you have the strength to take that risk again.
