Your tears are frozen waterfalls
falling from your cold heart’s
seeking, aching, echo calls
exposing many missing parts.
I wish I could take away
the aching pain you feel,
I wish I could find the answers
that would make your seeking heart heel.
I wish you could look at me
without anguish on your face,
wish you could just set you free
and stop running at this pace.
Little by little I see you die,
nothing I can do, nothing I can try.



Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

Graet poem. feeling hopeless is a bad enough feeling, but when you are helpless to reach out to another person with no hope, those feelings are so compounded. when the one person you know you can help runs away from that, it hurts a lot. this was very well done, and i hope whoever it is you're reaching out to learns that some demons need help to be beaten.< !signature-->

We all got somethin' we need to atone for.

reading this i see a story unfold in my mind. of a helpful person not able to help and hurting when they can't

I'm the lord, I'm the havoc, I'm the soul

OH WOW!!!!! you show so much emotion in your poem... it makes it so very beautiful..i dont know if you wrote this for anyone but if you did it shows that you care very deeply about this person. i give you mad props for your poem.. you should submit this poem for the book. but as jeremiah said " of a helpful person not able to help and hurting when they can't"... some people dont want the help.. but others do.. a close friend of mine tried to kill herself and i was there for her but in the long run she didnt want me there it was someone else she want but i was the only one around....
