Hatred for Helplessness.

i stand and watch you fall from afar
though not very
wishing i could fix it all
watching you, it scares me
i wonder if this is my fault
if i've caused this downward spiral
of despair that has you caught
and will not let you go

they tell me that you're going crazy
drinking more than in times past
that your minds a little hazy
how long will this madness last
soon you will be empty
left with no one to carry
the burdens that you placed on me
and then took back unwillingly

it hurts to see you like this
it hurts even more
to think of the bliss
that could have been ours
if things had been different
and now i watch
as you slip under
once again

if i could take away your pain
i would, i wish you'd see
that all the sorrow you are holding
rightfully belongs to me

so look up
stop drowning in your sorrows
look around
it's a new day
filled with people who would care
if you weren't pushing them away
reach out
try life for a change
stop hiding
behind your lack of personality
and see that the only one you never let go of
is me.
