Jan 2011
I watched her as she slipped away,
away from reality,
day by ever passing day,
falling away from me.

I couldn't see what was chasing her,
or what she might be chasing,
but I just couldn’t leave her there
with her fears racing.

It was like watching her sink.
drowning from her past,
taking over how she thinks,
I knew she wouldn’t last.

Why she was like this?
She’d didn’t understand.
And trying to not be sick,
but wonder land was not wonderland.

She, was still phobic,
she couldn’t get help from me
no longer wanted to be,
I watch her enter the sea,
trying to escape reality.
