My Friend Sam
So close I can reach out and touch you
So far you would never glance my way
I see yourself in so many ways,
Just little dots surrounded by haze
I try to connect, to fill in the blanks
But your walls just continue to tank,
From your front and each of your flanks
Maybe I'll never breach that gate
Maybe it just isn't our fate
Maybe it's best if I sit and wait
Maybe you need this to make
Yourself stronger to take
Some future task that's not safe
And if I help you out now
Then you'll not be ready to prowl
And then you'd be so much less...
Safe
I wouldn't live with myself
Though right now I would tell
All of the pain that I feel
I know not the burden I feel
It is yours, that I know
I signed up for this...
I won't let go
Maybe it's best that I
Stand by and watch
As the seconds tic by
On my watch
As the pain in your eyes
Does not fade
And my heart keeps on
Pounding to aid
But you won't let me, into those walls
So I sit outside, wondering in thought
Is it best if I gave up and left?
Not on you but on my trying theft?
Of your time that was waistedly spent,
On a boy who can't help your intent
I don't know I don't know I don't know
It's unfortunate there isn't a foe
Or I could rip them and cut them to shreds
But this fight's going on in your head
Perhaps I'm just overthinking this verse
So I'll sit and I'll wait and I'll curse
That I see you like this
But can't go down
My love for you
Just will not drown
Even when you look up,
With that frown
Not the smile on your face that you fake
Believe me I know, I'm that very same snake
I'm just sorry you have to endure,
All this pain that you go through for sure,
And I'll sit and I'll wait and I'll hate
That you have to go through this dim fate
But I'll stand by if you need a hand
And walk out if that's, all that I can
But in me you will have a true friend,
At a moments notice I'm up to defend,
Just know that I'm here and you're never alone
And I'd give all I can, till I loose my last bone
If it isn't my place then the sidelines I'll stand,
But from you I will never disband
