I came to you

I came to you in a time
that I had a need

a need to be held by you,
welcomed into your arms

a need to be touched by you
deeply soul to soul

I held out my heart to you,
but you would not take a hold

and it dropped to the floor,
battered and bruised

I picked it up and 
held it to my chest

and cradled it in my arms
and washed it in my tears

I hung my head in sorrow,
and turned and walked away

and I can only wonder why
in me you could not see
your needs become fulfill

but your world, it spun too fast
and I was only a blur to you
that you could not even see

and though I was there for a time
and I was real, I am now gone

and when you wonder where
and when you wonder why

do not feel alone for you'll know,
where ever I am, 
I'll be doing the same
