Happenstance

I don't even have the words to say
You and I have been through so much
and yet- this is a lesson I cannot teach you
This is something you will learn, in time.
its gonna hurt like hell
and you will bleed uncontrollably
and you will call out for my help, for a hand to staunch the flow
and I will be there
Because that is the way of things
Because everyone will be gone
But if you asked me to, if you needed me to, I would be there
Even now
While my wounds are just barely closed
and my hands are just barely strong enough to hold myself together
I would be there
Because you would do the same, if I asked you to
Sometimes the end is just the beginning of the next chapter...
