Chapter 19: Watcher

I wanted to help
Truly I did
I just didn't know how
So I stood there quietly and watched

I wasn't able to help
That girl was
And that makes me angry

That girl;
She is an interloper,
She's not part of the family.
She is too happy, and naïve to truly understand
Being with us,
Being involved with the curse
People get hurt.
It's not all fun and games!
It will never be alright!
She makes me sick with her belief that it will be so.

But I didn't say anything
As I watched
Her heal out heart wounds, everyone of us
One by one.
She got her to talk again
As I just stood by and watched.

I wanted to be the one to help her talk again
I wanted to be the one she turned to
But NO!
She turned to that girl while I stood helplessly in the shadows.

I watched her as I always have
From a distance
Because I love her

I have to watch as she goes to her
It's always sissy this,
And sissy that!
It's the nickname she gave to that girl.

But I go along to watch
Because I love her.
