The sideline

I stand on the sideline, listening, watching
I can see your tears even though you try to hide them
I can hear the sorrow in your voice when we talk
I see the struggle within you every day, and I recognize it

Once I was like you, depressed, lonely and fucked up
I thought if I shut the people in my life out
That I could help it, that it would become better
'cause all they did was make me sadder

Now you're going through the same shit
Having dark days and darker nights, often crying
Often sad. I wish I could do something for you
But all I can do is stand on the sideline, listening, watching.

But even though I am removed from you
I hope you know you can always talk with me.
I will always do my best to help you through your dark times
I will always be there, never more than a phonecall away

Because we're friends and I love you.

This little....*thing*...is dedicated to and inspired by a good friend of mine.
Love yah!
