Why Not Me

I'm suffocating,
My lungs feel so tight and out of air.
My heart hurts,
An aching pain that won't go away.
My eyes cry and cry
And I can't figure out why.
My arms are numb,
They are so empty, when once they were so full.
My mind is lost,
It no longer knows what to think.
I beg and I plead
But still you stay away.
You are so close I can touch you with my hand
and yet I can't seem to reach you.
You're a firefighter,
you save people for a living...
Why won't you save me?
