The Friend In The Ocean

Lately, my friend, you haven't been okay

It feels as if you have been distraught

The people's words have taken their toll

Your completely shattered and I can't sweep up the pieces

I feel I am of no benefit to you

Your one of the few people that I've ever truly cared about

You are drowning in the water and I can't save you

Who did this to you? Who hurt you?

I shall avenge you no matter the cost

I'm sorry that I can't do anything to protect you

So why did you take care of me?

When you couldn't save yourself?

Did you believe I could be helpful?

I am truly not a helpful person, especially in this position

My mind had distorted the reality of the situation

I have no boat and I am most certainly not a lifesaver

So, how am I to save you?

I am undeniably meaningless to you

When I am not worth anything with nothing to contribute

You still displayed your care and affection

I don't know anything about friendship

I really don't know anything about it

All I know is sorrow and heartache

So why, why did you take me in?

I should have never left your side

I know your slowly starting to sink

The salty waves of madness

Are endlessly trying to swallow you

Swim please, don't give in to the ocean's current

Go against it, I know you can win

Don't give up on me yet

For I never will give up on you

I'm coming to save you now

I'd rather drown with you, attempting to save you

Then stand there in the golden sand watching you drown

Our lives are flashing before our teary eyes

Please wait for me

I know you, and you know me

No matter what, we will be together

Till death tears us apart

But before we are thrown into the dark abyss

Promise me that we will stay together

I shall take you back to the shore

There are things waiting for you there

Sure, life is not fair

But it never once meant

That you had to jump

Into the chaos of the unfathomable water

The difference between pain

And suffering

Is that pain occurs throughout life

But suffering is a choice

So please stop doing this

For you are hurting me too

I am also sinking in the water

So come, let's not stay here any longer...
