I watch you and forget for a moment that
we are friends.
Sometimesyou seem like a stranger to me.
I can see when something is bothering you,
It is written in your eyes.
When you lack enthusiasm foreverything that once gave you joy,
I am scared.
Our private jokesyou don't laugh at,
And somehow whispering secrets doesn't matter.
All I can do is watch.
You are drifting away into a sea Idon't know.
I am helpless to save you.
At times like these I wishI wasn't your friend.
Maybe then it wouldn't hurt so much.
Iwatch with the sick fascination
That we used to have at horrormovies.
I want to cover up my eyes with my hands
And watch theaction from between my fingers,
But then you would know.
Ican see what you try to hide.
I notice all the pain that you bury.
I'm not trying to hurt you,
Only to let you know you're notalone.
I will listen when you talk to me.
I will be there when youneed me,
And when the burden can't be lifted by either of us,
Iwill get help.
I don't want to just watch.
