Disclaimer: I do not own POTO or the music to 'Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again'. It's a sad world, isn't it?

(Author's Note: This is actually a song that I wrote for Erik as a Valentine's Day present. That sounded really pathetic, didn't it? Well, at least I'm among my fellow obsessed writers and readers. The lyrics are mine but I set them to the tune of 'Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again'. Please, enjoy!)

Help me to Live

Constant noise and smiling faces
Seem to overwhelm me
Nothing here can soothe my yearning
For your warm embraces

Praying that I'll hear your voice again
Hoping that it's not too late
Dreaming of you
Is all I can do
To live the life I hate

Hoping that I'll see your shape again
Wishing that I never did
Too many years
Too many fears
Keeping my secrets hid

I wish I had just one companion
One who knew my dreaming
If I could just talk to someone
My hurt would not be teeming

Asking for a chance to really live
Begging for a chance to see
All that can be
Hidden in me
Help me to open my eyes

Knowing that there's nothing here for me
Hoping I can say good-bye
Take me away
Take me today
Show me the path to try

Ending heartbreak
Ending hurt and fear
Ending all the dreams
That brought me here

Help me finally live
Help me to start to live
