If Only You'd Try

You let go of the rope

and I took a tumble.

You said that you bled

over the struggle

with that unsound string

that caused all this trouble.

"It isn't my fault!"

You weren't too subtle.

I see nothing but sand.

Not a drop to drink.

I guess I could use 

all this time to think.

You walked out of range,

leaving me on the brink

of a brilliant breakdown.

You're letting me sink.

There are crows overhead

and clouds in these skies

and I think that you could reach me

if only you'd try.

I'm trapped in this hole here.

Listen out for my cries.

Or maybe I belong here

where everything dies.
