Don't Stop Me Now

Don't -stop me from falling. Don't -stop me now. I want to let go. Don't -stop me now. I can't make this pain go away. Don't -stop me now; I can't hold on. Not when a child is crying. Not when I want to melt away. Not when I don't have the strength to carry on tomorrow. Don't -stop me from falling. Don't -stop me with a useless phone call. Don't -stop me with a promise that things will be better. Don't -stop me now. Oh, why can't I fall asleep and wake up anew? Oh, why can't I trust that this hurt will dissipate and go away? Oh, why can't I find a little peace? Why can't I sleep? Why can't I rest until I'm strong again? I can't make sense of it. I can't weep enough. Is that why the autumn trees drop and hibernate? Shed their red maple leaves. Oh, the winds of change are a funeral barge. And though it brings comfort in the winter, I can't follow, knowing spring will always follow. Come again.
