Sometimes

Sometimes I wish I could save you.

Sometimes I sit
And wonder
At how the world
Makes us who we are.

Sometimes I listen
And wonder if
Any of what I hear
Is true.

Sometimes I remember
When you came to me
Desperate
And alone.

Sometimes I think
That I failed you.

Sometimes I sleep
And dream of a world
Where you can be saved.

Sometimes I scream
At the helplessness
I feel.

Sometimes I stare
And think that
The solution is so simple
If you'd only
Reach for it.

Sometimes I wish I could save you.

But sometimes I know
You don't want to be saved.
