Why can't you help?

By Dreamzz

You watch her scream,
watch her bleed,
but you never do a fucking thing.

You know she's not well
ever since her family went to hell.
But no you just sat and watched as she fell.

What the fuck
as she stands over the kitchen sink
using a knife, but not cooking a thing.

You watch her cry every fucking day
you say you love her, no fucking way.
Try again anyways.

She wears a smile of course,
but it's i lie.
Really a bet she wants to die.

As we speak she is killing herself
bleeding until nothing is left.
You don't do a thing.

From her perspective it goes like this.
Bent over crying, surely dying, wishing YOU were there to save her.
But you never bother to show, never let her know.

And as she takes her last breaths
she just wishes you were to rush in and take away the pain,
but she expects you won't come anyway...

    Guess we can't depend there will ever be someone to save us. Honestly, when it comes right down to it...we only have ourselves. I thought this was a good piece...makes one think.
