Help Me Help You

Even though you do not laugh anymore
Your beauty has not begun to deform
But your smile has disappeared
Like the sun eclipsed by a storm
I feel your sadness in the hours you spend asleep
While I sit in the corner
And watch you like a secret I cannot keep
I listen to the rhythm of your breathing
Wherever you are, peace is there
And my heart swells with empathy
For the escape you have found from the despair
I want to lay beside you
And hold you in my embrace
But I am loathe to disrupt your serenity
And wake you into this place
Where everything that brings anguish to your wounded mind
You cannot erase
Even when you're home you're not here
And I don't know what to do
I feel so helpless
Because it is my love's honor to rescue you

I'm tired of hurting and seeing you in pain
After everything we've gone through
I'd hate to think it was in vain
Now crucify me to this wall
I'm happy to take the fall
I just wanna cure you of this disease
Can't you hear me now
I'm crawling on broken, scabbed up bloody knees

It's so hard to watch you go through this
I'm thinking of everything I've come to miss
And I just want you to laugh, to dance, and be happy again
But I have no idea where to begin
My hands are tied
Every tear I've cried
Every story I've heard
I just wait, and wait and there is nothing more absurd
Than the feeling that maybe I have failed
But no one is to blame
I just want things to go back to how they were
To be the same
Like when you used to look at me with a light in your eye
And how we lived our lives as if we would never die
Nothing was ever going to stop us
Nothing was going to get in our way
We thought it would remain like this
And we'd never have to grow up one day
But time changes everything and the past is relegated
To the dusty corners of memory
Where who we used to be is visited in midnight revery
Are you tired
Empty
Uninspired
Have I done enough
Am I still desired
After all the years
The tears
Overcoming fears
And all the smashed mirrors
You got everything you dreamed for
And you're sadder than I've ever seen you before
I'm tired of hurting and seeing you in pain
After everything we've gone through
I'd hate to think it was in vain
Now crucify me to this wall
I'm happy to take the fall
I just wanna cure you of this disease
Can't you hear me now
I'm crawling on broken, scabbed up bloody knees
