Asking someone how they will react to certain situations, and getting all the wrong answers.

When I fall down, will you help me to my feet?
When I get nervous, will help me get to my seat?
When I’m lost, will you me find my way?
When everything seems dark, will you help me make it to the day?
When I loose all hope and there is no light,
Will you make me smile and tell me everything will be alright?
Or
Will you say to me that you that you don’t know me anymore, this isn’t who I used to be?
Will you tell me you can no longer bear to look at me because pain is all you ever see?
Will you walk away and say its just too much for you to take?
Will you tell my that your sorry that my heart aches?
Will you say that you want to be able to help me too?
Will you throw your hands in the air and turn away because you don’t know what to do?

    Very good poem

  • Karen Gross on Feb 9, 2009

    Two are better that one – when one falls, the other can lift her up. I’m not sure if this poem is autobiographical, but I hope you can find someone who sticks around for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, cleaning up each other’s vomit, listening over and over as you rant about the same rotten situation at work – all until death do you part. I have found my partner for life – hope you can too.
    When I think back over the relationships I had before him, I wonder if any of them would have stuck around through my Parkinson’s – knowing that it will only get worse and I will become more and more dependant on him – I know that I made the right choice!

    Very nice poem. While I read it, the words of the final cut lyrics recalled to me by themselves.

    Very nice job. It is regrettable that you got the wrong answers, maybe you should ask someone else?

    This kind of made me want to cry a little bit, mainly because if I was reading it to someone I know exactly who it would be ie I know where your coming from girl! Great work x
