I want to save him

Yet he won't let me

always stopping me

from reaching out

Always a barrier

to my goal

I can give him so much more

Why does he stay there?

His eyes

so far off

never smiles

Yet beautiful

I can tell

he's dying

on the inside

I can help him

I always smile

and try to say

the right things.

Why doesn't he listen to me?

My heart wrenches

when he turns his back

the missions more important

than me

How can that be?

I have given him my heart

All I get is silence.
