Nightsweats

I look for you, but cannot see your face
Although I long for you to hold me tight.
You held me once in a more desperate place
Full of the horrors of the endless night.
Where are you now? For now I need again
The comfort I fear only you can give.
Lend me your arms, just like you lent them then,
And give me reason once again to live.
Come back to me, and hold me just once more;
Be here, be near. Why are you far from me?
Do you not hear me desperately implore,
Of if you do, do you hear callously?
In darkness I need someone to cling to
I wonder if it shouldn't have been you.
