climbing walls

i tried to break into your walls,
they were so high and strong
and that intimidated me,
but the thought that
you were there alone
scared me even more

so i gathered my best equipment
and decided to make the climb
i put my fear away
and left my fearful heart behind

at the bottom of the mighty wall,
i feel my resolve wavering
but then i thought of you
and i stopped myself from quavering

one step here, another step there
if i fall, would you care?
my arms are getting tired
this situation is rather dire

but i kept climbing,
i kept myself reaching
the higher i went up,
the risks worsened
but for you i kept climbing

and then i see you
standing over the edge
of the wall you built,
ready to jump

my heart raced and
i forced myself to go faster
i could still save you
i could still help you

the higher i went up,
the swords that you've planted
have started to cut me
the arrows you've shot
are hitting me
but i kept climbing

you looked down
and looked me at the eyes
you were in pain
and i was here to help

i screamed words of comfort,
i reminded you that i was here
whether you heard me or not,
i will never know

battling against my shredding heart,
overlooking the pain of the climb,
im tired and ready to give up
but you step closer to the edge

i was almost there,
but then you jumped
almost

standing at the top of your wall,
i realize now
you cannot save everyone
