I wish I could be the one to extinguish the flames,
But the world would say otherwise;
As I watch from a distance as you trample your path with rage and sadness;
As I watch another quench the scorching heat,
I freeze with your cooling.
Irrelevant.
Useless.
Nothing but a small stain.
Nevertheless, I never considered it wrong to care.
I may never fix myself but I'll try to help you.

If you ever asked me to.
If I ever was brave enough to tell you.

As I watch from the distance,
Your fate.

As I long to intertwine mine with yours,
To pull you out of the ravine,
But I'm too much of a coward; I'm sorry.

I'm too scared to trample the little things you've given care.
I'm too scared to charge into your world, not knowing of what I can do.
I'm too scared to step inside your door, in your most vulnerable times.
And I ache too much to save you.
But I can't.

To anyone who hears my calls,
To anyone who feels the worry and pity I feel,
To anyone who can reach the heart I am crying about,

Please.

Before his rancor turns into ashes
