For a Falling Friend

What is this, this thing that you have become?

This girl I see before me needs to be redone,

you aren’t the girl that I thought I knew, 

The real you no longer comes through.

Suckered into the world that surrounds you,

I’m on the outside feeling like there’s nothing I can do

You weren’t supposed to fall victim to the enticements,

You no longer abhor that worlds revilements.

I attempt to save you from the fire

But to come out has to be your desire,

 I try to help, but I can only get so close.

I just hope it happens before you become comatose.

Come, Come, Come out from the fire.

I want to rescue you from your own desire.

with each passing day you go further from the light

quickly, quickly, come back to what’s right.

These unhealthy habits you must retire

with each day the situation become more dire

It breaks my heart when I look at you gone,

knowing you knew the consequences of your wrong

What was that? a flicker of hope?

it seams to me you aren’t content to just cope.

Its not too late for you to turn around,

You could still very well be homeward bound.

Please just give up this path that you’ve chosen,

I’m a waitin’ for ya, just sittin’ here composin’

I’ll welcome you back with open arms,

No more of this runnin round, settin’ off alarms.

I wanna see the person I know you truly are,

I know that girl ain’t that far.

It’s up to you now, you gotta make a choice,

I know you hear me from the inside, I ain’t just a voice.

The decision is your’s, I leave you to it now,

and with that I take my bow.
