Forgive Me

I saw you last night in the streets
It was dark and you were in a crowd
I watched with sadness as you inhaled 
I watched as you inhaled the one thing that would be the death of you
I watched as you inhaled the weed thinking it would help you escape the pain
I watched as you stumbled down the hill not knowing who you were
I watched as you fell to your knees as the drug took over you 
I watched with tears in my eyes as you smoked away your life at the age of 13   
    
You and I used to be so close
    
You and I used to be the best of friends
    
Do you remember those times when we were little boys?
    
Do you remember when we were like brothers?
    
Do you remember those precious memories that I hold deep in my heart?
 
    Do you remember anything?
    
Everything fell apart for you and I’m so sorry
    
Now I watch you with tears streaming down my face
    
I watch as you destroy your life because of all the pain you go through
I saw you again today
I saw you with your torn shirt and baggy jeans
I saw you with a girl clinging to your arm
I saw you and you never looked at me as we passed each other in the street
I looked at you and my heart felt as if it was breaking
I cried for you in my heart
I cry for you because I know I can do nothing to save you
I can do nothing to save you from the drugs and pain in your life
I would give my life if my death would take away your pain
I would give anything just to see you like you used to be
Forgive me for not being able to help you
Forgive me
