"Let Me Help" - a poem by Nadya aka AngelMercury aka Naomi Tribble on March 11, 1999
Based on the episode of StarTrek: the Original Series: "The City on the Edge of Forever" (*sniff sniff*). From Captain Kirk's point of view.
"Let me help", you said
to a perfect stranger
who did not belong in your world.
I came to help
rescue a friend
and return time.
I return heartbroken.,
forever scarred.
I cannot help it.
I could have helped -
but for the good of forever,
I watched you die.
I could have helped...
