I Want To Help You

Here, I stand, watching you.
And as I watch, I stand alone.
I scream out for you to hear, And as I scream, no one's home.
I see no one coming to help.
I see only you as you fall.
I see no one running to aid.
In fact, I see no one at all.
I hear my voice echo in my ears,
But I can't move from where I stand.
I reach out to hold you close,
But you just sink deeper in the sand.
I wish I could help you get away.
I wish I could chase away your fears.
I wish you could just get past this.
And shrug off those turbulent years.
I see the problems you reek of,
But I won't step back from the stench.
I see the love you've longed for.
And I see the pain you clench.
I can't seem to reach you now,
And you appear to be pulling away.
I can't seem to pull you out,
And you have nothing more to say.
I see the anger that destroys you.
I see the hatred in your eyes.
You see past all the phantoms.
You see past all their lies.
You're so beautiful now that you're here,
And I won't ever let you go.
I'll never leave you here again,
Especially now that I know.
I've finally figured you out,
And I know just who you are.
You are my own reflection.
Sealed away, deep, in my heart.
