Helpless!

As you talk I hear your pain.
I'm clutching the phone to my ear,
You're crying,
Your heart is dying,
And I will fail you,
My greatest fear.

I'm so far away,
So many hours away,
And they don't believe you.
I do.
They don't see you.
I do.

Come child, I'll love you.

Put the pills back,
The counter there, the cap,
snap it on, snap it tight,
back to bed, flick off the light.

Dark.

But in the dark your eyes find it.
My eyes find you.
Your mind pictures that bottle,
And the pills in that bottle,
And the end in that bottle.
My eyes find you.

I don't know what to do,
Heaven help me.
