Staring me down

I feel alone though you are near
What may seem like an empty soul is really filled with fear
I want to move forward but my feet are stuck to the ground
I just can’t seem to turn my life around
It feels like Death is staring me down

I want to help you but I don’t know how
I wish I could be there for you rite now.
When I heard you crying I felt so cold
I was weak when I should have been bold.
I never want to see you frown
Because to see you sad hurts me so much
That it feels like death is staring me down
