I need the compassion of others,
If only they would understand to stop for five minutes.
I need the cool air breathed from the sky,
If only it wouldn’t blow the world in it.
I need to see the darkness that surrounds,
If only I could see you amidst the black.
I need to talk to you for hours,
If only my sanity could find its way back.
I need to be able to look you in the eye,
If only your vulture gaze deterred from blue.
I need to be by your side,
If only you understood that all I need is you.
