a deep lost grief

i implore you here and now
please consider these words
with the kindness and patience
you would allow a suffering babe
i am consumed by a deep lost grief
that til now could not dare to know the light
please accept this innocent intimate gesture
with hopes of touching the child in you
it's true at times the powers that be do offer comfort
but neath the hidden depths of my mortal soul
i cry out for you and you and you to know the truth
i need you here and now to help me bear this ancient silent sorrow
i need to know now who you are that
might help to right this troubled ship
the waters seem too fathomless for any sense of ease
please accept this innocent intimate gesture
i need you and you and you
i cannot go on alone from here
i need you, i need you now
