Reach Out

Reach Out

Alone, vulnerable on a solo journey to the hell within your thoughts,

Day-in, day-out battling the struggles of a past that haunts you,

Where emptiness makes it hard to deal with the phantoms of your pain,

Wondering - is there no way out from the bottomless chasm of uncontrolled chaos?

Don't reject the hand trying to pull you through the pitch black darkness,

We are almost there as I reach out to pull you in by my finger tips,

Safely wrapping you in my arms and holding you close as only I can,

Let me protect you, give you peace of mind - let me save your soul.

Your tears create ripples in my heart as they slowly cascade from your eyes,

Our souls mirror one another - every scar, every crack reflects the same,

Hear my words - let them encourage you, let them give you new hope,

Walk with me talk with me as we stroll under the street lights of the cul-de-sac.

I know you need me just as I need you to let my love heal your heart,

When it is hard to breathe, let me be your oxygen, the air that you inhale,

Feel the unseen connection we share that binds us together,

Let me take away your worries and your bad memories - reach out for my hand...

This made me so emotional, reading your poem. I really felt the darkness, the pain, the sadness, isolation and all those terrible emotions. And then the light started to shine. A little at a time... With the hand and the kind, caring, thoughtful approach toward the ending of help, support and love.

Could be the voice of the friend we all wish we had. Could be the voice of God. Perhaps they are the same.

i wonder why we refuse to grasp the hand trying to help us...do we really feel we can find our way without...or are we just feeling that we do not want to burden others with what ails us.

Very good point.. I think a lot of people don't because they feel like a burden to others.. and some feel they can find their own way... But in the end I say take the hand if given the chance.. Thanks for the comment
