Helpless
I looked into your crystal eyes
Pain was staring back
Screaming out a pleading cry
And then they turned to black

Hollowed by the horror felt
My eyes then turned to grey
Wishing to be someone else
I know not what to say

My arms wrapped your shaking form
I tried to give you strength
I could not even keep you warm
The embrace failed at length

I want to give you peace of mind
Wish I could tell you why
You whisper to me you'll be fine
I know it is a lie

I wish that i could find for you
A life better than this
I don't know how to save you
Ignorance is not bliss
