Analysis of Something
B.Mathislange 1956 (Essex)
With all my might I ran to you
I ran as fast as I could
But.... Something"ran faster and
got to you first that
took you far from my touch
So now I look
and look for you
I look every second there is
But as fast as I ran
and as hard as I looked
"Something".....had taken you far
from my touch

About this poem
Its about the helplessness you feel when trying to save a friend ,loved one or pet.I had all three and in my yearning for rescue these words fell from my pen drenched in tears letting them go.
