I wish I could save you
And not with words
See, I know that Darkness, like quicksand, swallows you whole. The minute you step into it, you fight against it and slowly but surely,
You start sinking into the overwhelming pit.
I wish I could save you
Yet you have to fight your own battles,
And I'm guessing this is why it's so hard to stand by and watch you.
Life has me ******* into a chair and I'm watching as it tortures you by throwing everything Evil that the world Embodies.
Yet I can't save you.
Not now.

I wish my words could save you.
I wish caring saved
I wish love saved
I wish my hands could save
You're so close yet, so far
But the darkness will surely consume you,
And there's nothing that I can do but Hope that the world doesn't corrupt another pure soul tinted with some darkness.
Light and Dark walk hand in hand.
I wish I could save you, but
My voice has no power compared to the void that grows within you.
I'll wait until the world's done meddling with you, like it did with me,
And after, I'll make sure to hold you as you curse the darkness out,
Letting it know that it's never welcomed back.
My friend's going through a rough time & i want to help but..he needs to experience it.
