Right From the Start

You think this is funny? You think this is fair? Me being locked out while I’ve always been there?! I think you are lying I don’t believe a word Just know you are not the only one here who's been hurt So decline yourself aid, Lay around and mope But don’t blame me because you have lost all your hope I tried to be patient, I’ve tried to stay sane But I won’t be pulled down Because you are comfortable in your pain I was willing to help, but you pushed me away And I won’t continue “helping” When you consistently ignore what I have to say It pains me to see you like this, All down and depressed But some people’s troubles seem to drown out the rest I love you to bits - with all of my heart But I knew I couldn’t save you Right from the start So I’m cutting you out, and leaving you now Till you come out of and past the “why” And want to work on the “how” Don’t take this as me, giving up on you I’m just giving space for my words - like water - To seep in and get through to you We can fight this together, and come out on top But first you must be willing To make it all stop Until then my friend, I bid you goodnight But know I will always Stay within sight When the moment arises, and you reach out to me Open arms you will find, and a happier person You will someday be
