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
