I wish I could save you all.
Who is going to catch you when you fall?
I would, but I am already flat on the ground.

I wish I could remember you all.
Who is going to tell our stories once we are gone?
I can't even remember them sometimes.

I wish we could go back to being young,
when the hardest decision was choosing what ice cream flavour to have,
and we'd argue over who would play the princess and who would play the prince.

I wish I could save you, I wish I could save you all.
I wish I could take away the pain,
the scars on your skin,
the wars in your head,
the nights you wake up,
the nights you never go to sleep,
the nights where all you do is cry,
and the nights when you just can't.

I wish I could sew up your broken hearts,
save you from your bruises.
I can see it all the time,
I can see your skin turning grey,
your words hurting as you speak them.
I just wish I could do something.








I wish I could save you, but I am one of you.
