For Him

I feel him escaping my grasp.
I watch helplessly as he grows distant.
I yearn for him to come back,
But he is resistant.

I want to help him,
But i do not know quite how.
His hopes and dreams
Mean nothing to him now.

I do not know how to help him.
I can't give him a better life.
Though i may try,
I can't fix his problems.
I can only be there for him in his strife.

I can't pave the way for him,
I will do everything to help him stand.
I will try to hold him up,
And offer him my hand.
