Across the way
I see you there
standing hunched
with lanky hair.
Shoulders slouched,
reet drag behind,
despair clings to you,
no happiness of any kind.
Life seems grim,
no hope to be found.
Eyes bloodshot,
spirit soul bound.
Tied to a path
you don't wanna take.
There is nothing you can do
to escape your fate.
But what if I told you
that I had a way,
a way to be you,
to help you break away?
Would you give me a chance,
listen to what I say,
or is your spirit too broken
to believe I have a way?
So there you will stay
in your empty little shell.
I have tried to save you,
but you have already fell.
Fell into that deep hole
where depression sets in
& you don't even care,
you chose to sink, not swim.
A pity, you choose to stay
in your world of dark despair
until someone pulls you out
by showing that they care.
This is what I want,
want to do for you.
We've only just met,
yet I know that this is true.
Love at first sight
is what they'll say this is,
but I say it's something else,
not just wanting a kiss.
It's wanting to show a person
that someone is out there,
someone to cherish
to show that they care.
If you let me,
you will be my treasure.
I'll pull you from depression,
show you a life with no measure.
