For Jess

by HollywoodSmile   Sep 2, 2008


When you reached out
i couldnt tell
but thats becasue
you hid it so well

just like me
so full of pride
if it werent for that
you wouldnt have died

it is for you
my crippled friend
that i will help
the others mend

when you called out
i couldnt hear
but now i have
a well trained ear

just like me
so full of hate
if not for that
you could have been saved

it is for you
i do what i can
to save the lives
forever damned

when you cried out
i didnt help
but if i had known
i would have stopped it myself

just like me
too blind to see
all the life
inside of me

it is for you
i take the blade
from the wirsts
of those i can save

when you ran out
into the rain
it was too dark
to see the flame

just like me
so many mistakes
if not for that
you'd take my place

(for Jess, im sorry i didnt...do anything. but i was still to young to see it. ive grown up now, i can see it in the words i used to write. theres still so much for me to learn, but ive already come so far. even if you cant see it, im fighting to save you. in all the people that come to me, im saving you, because you live in them. they remind me of you, and you remind me of myself. but i cant let anyone else fall the way you did. so i will love those who need love, and i will save you, even if tis already too late. this poem isnt near wrothy of its meaning, but...no, theres no excuse for that)
