How can I help you?

 

Watching on

Helpless

 

Watching you cry

Watching you scream

And I am helpless

 

What can I do?

How can I help?

I have no idea…

 

Help me

Lead me on

Show me how to help you

 

Hearing you cry

Hearing you scream

Brakes my heart

 

We need one another

To help and love

We are alone

 

So I write this poem

To show how much I love

To show how much I care

 

To say

How can I help you?

Gripping and honest. :)

A surprising upbeat, but still sad poem. Very good job at blending the two. I did see something that may be a grammar error, but I will not metnion it since it works better the way it is.

It's always a good thing to help people, but you can only help a person so much. You can't force yourself to help someone if they don't want to be helped. If they don't want to be helped, then leave them be. We shouldn't run to those who need help because they will deny they need it, but we shall wait for them to come to us in their time of greatest need, so THEN we can gladly offer our services.

The woman who is supposed to protect you - is that who I read here? If so, not your job. If not, what a gift you are to someone. Hope they honor and cherish what they have. Raw and pretty.

the desperation and frustration we feel at not being able to help a loved one or be there for them in the way they need us. great poem.

[GreenAngle]

Aww sad but very emotional i really enjoyed reading it. If it's about someone they are very lucky to have you. I love your writing style i might read some more of your work but keep it up! =D

I really like this one! Even though it's about watching something that tough and painful, the piece itself offers hope and caring. The blending of the negative with the positive worked really well in this poem! Great Ink!
