I want to save him
He´s out of reach
His eyes wide open
Filled with tears.
I saw him smile one day
A long time ago
He was happy
For a little while,
Just one second would be enough
For him now.
Each day is harder
Now this is the hardest it gets
He falls asleep crying
Waking up with scars on his face.
He takes pills for the pain
They make him lose the strength to change.
He wrote to me once
A poem of injustice
About how empty he felt inside
And how the world had rejected him.
About how he lost his dream
And how he fell behind.
Now I don´t see him everyday
I don´t hear the calls he makes.
But I know that he suffocates
He refuses to live in this ignorance.
He is just as innocent as all the others
But most say he made too many mistakes
I tell him it´s ok
He looks away.
I want to cry
Can´t stand to watch him suffer
My friend, my family, to me my brother.
He burns
I don´t wish him dead
But that is the way he feels inside
Has no longer a reason to stay alive.
He told me, looked me in the eyes
I am the only one who can look beyond his lies.
His eyes are his voice
They tell me he has no choice
In front of me, never droped one tear, I knew
Even in his sleep he no longer knows how to dream.
I wanted to tell him
To live his life
I wanted to ask him
To put away the knife.
How can I save his life when he finds no sens to it?
How can I protect him when the words won´t stay?
Just a few questions
That I can´t find the answer to.
Just a few words
I can´t seem to hold on to.
I know he has given up
It is no longer one single drop of blood.
