A picture can speak a thousand words
Watching you from the other side of the room
My mind gathers thoughts that I assume
They fly around my head like soaring birds
My heart begins to race at the thought of your pain
Your eyes reflecting more light than usual
Due to the crying that has been continual
Every part of you unmoving like a strain
Nothing within you leads you to speak
Friends cannot understand the wreckage beneath
Your heart surrounded by a powerful sheath
One small blow, on your knees, you are weak
I can’t sit here and watch you fall apart
Can I share the pain in your heart?
You can’t do this alone
Walking swiftly into the unknown
You think vulnerability is your weakness
No one ever sees you cry
You think the best thing to do is die
You breathe carelessness
Winter has been your only friend
Icy breeze blowing inside you making you numb
What has the world let you become?
Twisting and contorting you into their bend
Your family is unavailable to tend to your needs
They have their own issues to fix
Taking it out on you with their sticks
Your heart bleeds and bleeds
I stand here and watch you slowly fade away
You don’t want to live another day
You’d rather lay there and die
Not even giving hope a try
I slowly begin to step back
Knowing there is nothing I can do
The emotions inside me spew
Tears surround me, I am drowning
What’s worse than knowing a friend is broken
Is knowing they’ve given up
That you aren’t enough to help them through
That there’s nothing you can do
Like watching the agony through a glass wall
Unable to pry through to save their life
You just scream and pry and squall
Sharp pains stabbing inside like a knife
Nothing you say can get through to them
So you just watch...
watch a picture worth a thousand words
unfold and burn away before your eyes
