I tried to catch you

As you were falling

Yet you pushed me

Out of the way

I lay there for a while

Not sure of what to say

I tried to catch you

When you were thrown

Upon the heap

But once again you

Evaded me as if you

I wanted to keep

I tried to catch you

When you wings failed

In the storm

You dodged and spun

To twist and turn

And from me to stay

Away

I tried to catch you

As the devil held out

His arms

But you did not see me

For your heart was full

Of charms of wealth

And beauty from afar

I tried to catch you

As you burned within

That pit

Singed my wings legs

And arms

But you just closed

Your eyes

I tried to catch you

As your soul they cast

Aside

I had to endure stories

Of how you had suffered

With pride

Now that I have fallen

And lay motionless by

Your side

I’m sorry I did not catch

You or my love learn how

To hide
