The poem is about a woman who finds herself in a dark place and wonders what could have been different if she was given another chance. She stumbles and her heart breaks, feeling she brought this upon herself. The speaker wishes they could have helped her by holding her hand and setting her free, hoping she could have seen what they saw and gotten out of this situation.
