From Afar...

From afar I watch the changes in you
From afar I see you accepting defeat
I hate every minute of what you are going through
You don't deserve what fate has brought  you
From afar I see your spirit cracking
From afar I watch your body contracting
Your smile now a sight for sore eyes
I feel you want to break all of your ties
I see you shrink into a shell
My mind begging for you to get well
It pains me to see you losing your hope
I can't figure out how we can all cope
From afar I watch you try to stay in control
From afar I see the fight taking its toll
"It's not fair!" I scream in complete silence
And sometimes all I can feel is fear and violence
I want to fill your life with a light
I want you to believe a miracle is in sight
But sometimes, as I watch from afar
I can feel your wounds leaving a scar
A scar on my thoughts to see this all through
I begin to doubt if we can start each day anew
A numbness spreads across my mind
As I struggle for a solution to find
My positivity wanes from time to time
But No! I refuse to give up my hope
I refuse to believe that we all can't cope
From afar I may see your spirit cracking
But I'll be standing there to put back whats lacking
From afar I may watch you go into your shell
But I'll draw you out, I won't let us fail
From afar I may see the fight taking its toll
But I'll be standing behind you, to keep the sword in your hold.
