I don't want to lose you like this.

I stand back.
Watching helplessly.
As you fade away.

I reach out.
Scream your name.
Try to grab you.
But you're out of reach.

You don't reach out
You don't call my name.
You don't want help.
Just leaving me.

I want you.
No.
I need you.
Please.
Don't leave me like this.

Don't leave me.
I don't want you gone.
And you're just hanging on a string.
Waiting to fall.

And I'm balancing on a tightrope.
Trying to reach you.

I won't lose you.
Not like this.
Not at all.

You stare at me.
At my soul.
And bring back every memory.
Every laugh.
Every smile.

Then, just like that.
You fall.
Leaving me with nothing.
But the fear of losing anyone else.
