I’m being pushed away.

Calling out for me,

And yet you still push me away.

---------------

I call to you,

You no longer hear me.

I embrace you,

You no longer feel me.

---------------

You spread your arms wide,

Inviting me in,

You stand there still, waiting to hold me,

But I’m already there, holding you tight.

---------------

You no longer see me,

But my dear,

I see you,

I am near you.

---------------

You think I have lost you,

But my dear,

All those things you do,

It was you who lost me.

---------------

But you are not the only one,

Others call for me,

None do see me,

And yet they call.

---------------

You had me once,

I belonged to everyone,

I was with you always,

But then you threw me away.

---------------

One by one,

You lose your sight,

Your ears deafened,

Sense of feeling gone.

---------------

I am not wanted,

It comes with age.

But why then dear?

Why do you still call?
