let me help you now
i wish i could have then
when you could have really used it
when you really needed it
needed everything so badly
was it my blood you needed?
was it any part of me?
i would have given you anything
if it could help you focus
your eyes on mine in that dim room
grey light and bony angles
beneath starched, bleached sheets
and a pain so great it swallowed you up
swallowed your words
took the blood right from your skin
blood i am trying to give back to you
a transfusion across worlds
you're a universe away now, so far
and it's too late for my offerings
but i will give them to someone else
there is always someone else
