One Who Came For Me

Is there no one in this place,
Hears me, sees my crying face.
Cares enough to ask me why,
On this day I sadly cry.

Still, alone do I retreat.
Not a soul to help me beat,
Grief and sorrow drowning me,
Lest I drown and no more be.

Throw a line or jump on in,
Grab my hand and pull me in,
Ever more my friend you'll be,
You're the one who came for me.

I'd tie a rope around my waist and wade in after you

. We've all felt this way at one time or another, and it is always nice to find someone who cares enough to take the plunge and come for us.

floria,
Count me in! If I ask you why...could you tell? If I said I'd just be there, is that enough? Count me in!

Thank you Madame Chipmunk, yes we all do feel that way sometimes, thanks for replying. floria

Yes Larry, It is quite enough what you said. thank you so much, and I would be there for you. floria

Thank you James, Friends more than family, family kind of pulls away because they don't want to go to that dark place themselves. thanks, floria

Enchanted melody,,thank you so much. The one who is always there for me is my Lord..But I have to let Him help me. Sometimes the human side takes over. floria

Brian, thank you very much, My friends on here mean a lot to me. Thanks for you kindness. floria

Thoughts slide out
of hiding and cling
to anything I put
in front of them.
Words bead up
like dew and in
a moment,
will be accessible.

Dear Floria,
Here's a life preserver-grab! Oops! Didn't mean to hit you on the head with it! Are you okay? Is it the thought that counts in times like these?

(Loved the smooth flow of your poem)
