Why?
I promised to protect you,
I'm failing miserably.
You're slipping away.
Away from me, away from my reach
and on to the other side.
Grandma, I'm not ready for you
to leave me just like he did.
Please just push it through,
like I know you can.
you're stronger than
what they say you are,
you and I both know it.
I feel like you're giving up
on me and grandma, that won't do.
I need you here,
to help me and to save me.
If you make it,
I'll stop.
Stop the self destruction,
stop with my path.
I'll stop the hurricane
that I've become.
I love you and he knows that;
so why is he taking you?
