Under the Light

I'm falling slower and slower,

But it all seems too fast.

I need your heart now,

Won't you let go,

You're drifting faster and faster,

Yet you're moving too slow.

Won't you just come here

I feel so alone.

Now under the fluorescent street light,

I wait for you to come back--

For you to save me,

And bring me back to life.

Years later--

I lie here under this broken street light,

Waiting for someone to notice

As I wither away in the dark.
