I wanted to be your shade
when the blazing rays penetrated into your flesh
but I was just a bare tree
weeping over my own blemish
I wanted to be your sail
on the thunderous stormy night
but I was just a worn out fabric
which set you adrift worsening your plight
I wanted to be your light
when in the darkness you stumbled
but I was just a feeble spark
even in the zephyr I trembled
I wanted to be that person
who you'd hold on to when you felt helpless
but I was just another human
uncaring, inconsiderate and hopeless
