I feel my arm pulling,
A dead body's weight
Its relentless gravity,
Dragging me down
My arm is strained,
It refuses to let go
I'm wearing myself out,
To keep the grip
But then I look closer
And realize
I'm trying to save a person
Already lost
I poured all my effort,
All my strength,
Into something hopeless
Was I perhaps hallucinating?
I was convinced
I could lift them up,
Make them shine
Truly alive
But it was just a lazy corpse,
Maybe it was a content being lifeless
