i want to save you
i feel your pain
your suffering
your misery

i know underneath it all
you're still the same
you just hide it all
to get by in life

i'm hurting myself
you know
sitting here
waiting for you

but for you it's worth it
i keep hoping
i can eventually save you
but i know i can't

The author's comments:
I think everyone has that one friend they used to know, but now you.... don't. They seem to be someone you've never met and have no desire to know. They scare you. I have a FEW of these friends. This is for them.
