You say you want to help
but you're doing nothing at all
you can't hear the pain filled yelp
you couldn't answer the call
you failed- just admit it
you've lost the game
you didn't fall into this bottomless pit
you aren't the one clouded in shame
you say you understand
you say you know it all
but all you do is just command
you couldn't save me from the fall
you don't have the power to save
nor made the decision to
you put me in this light less cave
when you said 'I love you'
