You slipped from my grip,
I stared watching as you fell.
I desperately called after you,
watching you slowly sink into the abyss.
Did I not offer my hand to guide you to safety?
Did I not try hard enough to protect you from all this?
All I ever wanted was to see you happy,
and in some ways I feel like I have failed.
You had become so strong and so passionate when it came to life,
why wasn't I able to hold on to you as you fell?
Is it the mere thought of someone risking their own sanity,
to help you endure the long journey ahead in this world?
I'm sorry I was not worthy to help carry these troubles on my back.
I'm sorry I had become so distant when I should have been by your side.
I'm sorry I failed to catch you as you fell into the cruel harsh waters of reality.
I'm sorry I was too late for you.
