Out Of Reach

I need you tonight.
To wrap me in your arms
Protect me from my fright
Silence all alarms

You used to be there
Sometimes needing
Sometimes needed
Each the other's shield

Tonight the silence is unbroken
Fabric absorbs my silent tears
I want to ask you to hold me
I want to say your name and know that you'll be near

But I know that you no longer need me
Your heart has healed
Others deserve your love more than I
I will not force your attention to myself

So tonight I lie alone
Ignoring the trickles down my cheeks
Turning my heart to stone
Until the sunlight peeks

Because you are out of reach.
