I could not help the girl with beautiful brown hair <br />Try as I might my mind was elsewhere <br />She lay in my arms crying while I was paralyzed with fear <br />Fear of making only the darkness darker. <br />At last that was my blunder. <br /> <br />As she lay in my arms crying <br />I felt I was failing <br />Failing to chase away the darkness <br />As she lay in my arms crying <br />I stood there and did nothing<br /><br />Moon Spirit<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-she-lay-in-my-arms/
