Stand By

Contributed by ALineAboveTheStepBeneath on Friday, 15th October 2004 @ 03:36:26 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



It's a horrible feeling knowing
That I can't save you
From what you've become
What can I do
But stand by and watch
So helpless
As you sick up the last bit of humanity
Left in you
It leaves an ugly stain upon the carpet
Sometimes I can't help but feel alone

Yep, my brothers are like that. They get into trouble, and all I can do is watch them get hurt. It sucks. Your poem really shows what a person goes through in that kind of situation. You did good. ;) ~hugs~

It works very well,
alienated from
being helpful,
then feeling alone.

A very good lttle poem.

Yes, I indeed do understand how it feel when you see your friend begin to do something which can only hurt them. It's a sad feeling. Like this a lot. Very deep in meaning
