I can't see you hurt

I can't see you hurt

A Poem by Samantha Taylor
"

During Kaylee's bad relationship, she refused to listen to me, and I guess jealousy had part in it as well.. being her bestfriend on the back burner.

"
I can hear you laugh
And see your smile like its your last
I can see a blunt you hand me 
an escape is all we'd see
Yet our paths separated 
Especially when you met him
Miles away, you couldn't hear what I had to say
Because you were sleeping with the devil
And now look at you, in debt, with a big a*s bill 
You're in an uphill battle
Traded him for the same in another
And I wonder if I'll ever see her again
The girl you used to be.
Don't get me wrong, I'm far from me, myself and who I was,
Yet I still know what's right and what's wrong 
Like how your sadness makes you listen to the same f*****g song
Over and over
Because it reminds you of him, of what you had.
But baby look at yourself, you've turn bad, 
Your hands are shaking and I can see your cold
I tried and tried to just hold
Your shriveled body in my arms
I told you what to do to get away from harm
And you smile and nod, say okay.
But it's obvious today
No matter what I f*****g say
You're gonna continue to make the same damn mistakes
So this is my goodbye
Cause I'm sick and tired of seeing you cry
You wonder why I'm distant 
Why I've pushed the f**k away 
And the words I love you leaves your lips,
But it's not what you meant
Because if you loved me,
You could see that I'm losing you
To stupid f*****g s**t you do
And you don't care
Not about me, and not about yourself
And if there's one thing I've learned in this hell I've lived,
You can't help someone who doesn't wanna be helped..
So swim. On your own.
Delete my number from your phone
Cause I'm not answering anymore
Are you happy now? You're alone.
Swim.
