Willow 1986/7? to Rick
I know I've failed you...
You never really wanted me...
But the circles under my eyes will fade in time
If I could only find you are mine.
If I could walk,
If I could talk,
I'd follow you to the end of time...
If I could write,
And not through spite
I'd make a suitable rhyme...
But my crutch is gone,
And my strength is failing...
In the darkness of night,
You can hear my wailing.
I want you to leave me
But you refuse to heed me.
I know I'm a burden
But you insist that you need me.
In time, the shadows fade at dusk
You see me now, a trembling husk...
I am worth nothing, can't you tell?
I cannot move, I cannot yell.
If you could help me and I feel you can't
I don't think it would help your plight
For even to move my heavy form
Would spend all of your might.
