If Only I Could Marc Mosko, 1996 Run to me, for I cannot run to you. Come to me, for I am paralyzed. My legs know no action, my mind is numb to them. I cannot will exertion; I cannot, I refuse. Walk not to me, carry me to you swiftly. Inch not to me, the measure is too small. Climb the obsticales, for here am I transfixed. Find your way amoung the dangers, relieve my pain with your care. Close the distance between us, reach to me and touch. Let your feet be mine, Bear the burden upon your hips: I am but dead weight in your arms. I am... terrified.
