Helpless

Why do you,
Do this to me?
Why do you,
Worry me so?

When you hurt yourself,
You hurt me,
And I can't stand,
To see you do this.

When you cry out,
For my help,
I just feel so,
Helpless.

I am the only one,
Who knows your secret,
The pressure is unbearable,
But I stay silent for you.

I promised you,
That I would,
Help you in,
Any way I could.

I am deathly afraid,
That I won't,
Be able to live up to,
That promise.

I know it is selfish,
For me to talk,
As if my life,
Is the only one affected.

I imagine how hard,
This must be for you,
Especially now,
After what happened.

Just stay as strong,
As you are inside,
And everything will be fine,
You will get through this.

Stay strong for me,
If not for you,
Because you've been scaring me,
And I'm worried about you.

It's just that,
I couldn't stand it,
If something happened,
To you.

Remember that.
