I can see your pain
I can almost taste
That bitter sadness
Displayed in your pretty face.

I can feel your hopelessness
I can almost sense
That despairing emotion
So large, so immense.

I want to try and help you
But I don’t know how to
I feel helpless myself
Not understanding what I should do.

I don’t know whether you want
My sympathy for you
Or for me to make it clear
That I have weaknesses too.

You are destroying yourself
Not just your outside skin
But this is damaging your inside
Your soul, and person within.

I wish I could change it
I’m sure I could sort things out
If only you would tell me
What all this is about.

I don’t want to pry
I can tell you want to be alone
But just know I’m here when you want
On the other end of the phone.

A friend is only a breath away
Only a thought or teardrop away
And if you need me with you
All you have to do is say.
