time of need

I knew there would be
that one time in my life,
I should not be alone.

I feared
that day,
that time,

I knew was coming,
as much as anything,
I ever feared in my life.

I knew I would not make it,
without you there to hold.

You were the one I prayed,
would be there for me,

in my greatest time of need,
when I knew how much,
my heart would bleed,

but you were not there,
though I still think
you did care,

but you didn't have a clue,
as to how badly I needed you.

I think I gave the clues,
many times before,

but I guess you
were not listening,
so I was left alone
once more,

in my greatest time of need,
to save me from myself.
