Life's Whirlpool

No matter how deep the water rises
You never let me give

When I stop treading
You start wading
Just to keep me afloat

This life taking whirlpool
You should have avoided
But as selfish as it maybe
I won’t let you leave me

Because though I say I’m ready
And I want to die
Really I’m scared to go under

When my eyes begin to fade
And I start to loose my grip
Slowly but eventually
You know that I will slip

So promise me when you see the signs
Not to shed a tear
But drop my hand
And let me go
Silently alone

Maybe you will find it hard
Still I ask with best intentions
That you do not worry
Try your best
Take care of yourself and my family

If forgetfulness comes to visit you
Never forget to remember this

Always know I love you
Not as a best friend itself but a sister
You’re never alone
In good or bad
By your side I’ll always stand

Though you may not see me
I’ve got a tight grip on your hand
Strong enough to keep our bond
Even when we’re apart

When the tides get bigger
Take a deep and patient breath
I’ll be there as you were for me
To gently bring you out
