"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...
