To My Dear Friend

I can't do it

Stand there watching

You be beaten down again and again

I always ask

What do you need

You say your fine

But I can see the truth

The Truth in your eyes

The pain you have

And the joy you use to cover it

Every time you talk to me

I can see

The suffering and pain you go through

The abuse you want to hide 

but it sticks out 

I try to help and give advice

But you say its fine

So I step aside

But it is killing me to see you walk ahead

On the hurtful road

So I tell you let me know

What I can do

Even if its to be by your side 

OR if I need to leave

Ill do it

As long as you're alive

If it means I watch from afar 

As you take the pain 

And smile through it all

I'll be there.... My Friend
