Begging for a Rope

Loneliness surrounds me,

Bringing me down.

Right now all I see,

Is me in this town.

 

And as I look around,

I feel I could drown,

In this sea of emptiness,

That seems so profound.

 

And I’m begging for a rope,

To pull me out.

A small gleaming ray of hope,

And no sense of doubt.

To know that I can touch the shore,

Without being dragged down,

Back to that lonely town.

 

Can no one see that,

I’m struggling so hard,

To cross those few feet,

That stretch like a yard.

 

So can someone please tell me,

How to get myself back,

To where things are good and happy,

And not just so black.
