I Wanted To Care

I saw your pain Watched you standing in the rain I wanted to care But didn't dare I saw your tears An eclipse of your overwhelming fears Saw you breaking apart I wanted to care But didn't dare I saw you shattered Saw you trying to move past the ruins inside Watched you try to shut out the world and hide And I wanted to care But i didn't dare.

Thank you for the kind reply! It's hard to try to find the courage to help someone who doesn't want help. It's always a release to get things out on paper. hugs ashley xxx
