When the World Turns Its Back, Who Can You Turn To?

I stand staring as their backs slowly start to turn, one by one.

That is when the rain starts falling and my heart starts sinking.

I call out, "I need you, don't go!"

But they keep walking as if they never heard me,

as if they never knew me.

A sharp pain rises in my chest

and I fall to my knees in surrender to the pain.

How can they leave now, knowing that I need them?

The rain is coming down harder now.

They said they cared, they promised to be there for me, and yet they turn their backs just like that.

It is as if the world is turning its back on me.

Where do I go from here?

I can still see them, in pairs walking towards the dark horizon.

My body trembles in fear, in sadness.

My head is spinning with questions

Why....

Why....

Why...

Suddenly a light breaks through the clouds and the rain stops, my tears.

I know it is them watching over me...the three angels that are always there.

That is when I heard the voice calling me from behind where my back was facing.

"We are here for you. We've always been here for you."

I turn around and in the bright, blinding horizon I see them.

Four silhouettes reaching out to me.

The ones I can count on when the rest of the world turns its back on me.
