Your Window

You think that I'm asleep, but I watch as you stare out of the window  
You're neither here nor there, but there is something that you remember  
There is something so deep within you, that it hides in the dark  
Not always but sometimes it appears with a flicker and a spark  
 
Was It something that I said or the weather outside of that window  
Yes boo, I realize that it could never be that simple  
But to watch as you torment yourself locked away in that dark place  
To only be able to watch as fear and pain moves across your face  
 
The fear, I can feel it as if I was standing right there  
Depression weighing you down, the darkness doesn't care  
I want to touch you, but it may be like touching a sleepwalker  
At the time I didn't know that your past was your stalker  
 
I thought that maybe we were having problem  
Maybe you were sweeping things under the rugs to keep from solving them  
But and then where did that put me, under the covers pretending sleep  
Willing to fake anything because I've fallen to deep  
 
To grasp at clouds of smoke trying to climb out of your void  
Tortures from your past that for whatever reasons were ignored  
Maybe the support wasn't there and you were encouraged to let it slide  
Maybe you were not believed or told to toughen up as you cried  
 
That trouble from so long ago has remanifested itself in your life  
The problem is in a perfect relationship, you're still enduring the strife  
I wish that I could help you before it starts eating away at what we have  
Because of you there is so much that I now have  
 
Please let me in Boo, let me share in your pain  
Let's confront it at the source, so that it never returns again  
Let's burn our past to cinders where as we both come out as heroes  
Instead of me pretending sleep and you looking out of the window
