a poem

I want to save you 

I cling desperately to your shirt.

I listen to your problems and stay with you while you cry.

I make you smile as much as I can.

I make an effort to see you when i can.

But you tell me its not my job.

You still blame yourself.

Why cant I help you?

I tell you I'm not mad.

I don't understand what's wrong.

Why do you do this to yourself?

Despite all my efforts you just fall deeper.

Yu don't look the same.

Your face is no longer hopeful.

You can't tell me things will be alright anymore.

I'm starting to forget how you used to look.

I can't save you.
