If it was in my gift

The darkened clouds grow above you, unseen, unknown,

Looking in, those who love you, helpless, stranded left alone,

We cherished every moment with you, knowing what was to come,

Just didn't expect it so quickly arriving like an unwanted Phantom,
 

But now its here, and you are alone and helpless, and us

We just cant reach you, you are just out of reach, adrift,

Your mind wont come back together again, scattered like pieces of dust,

If only we could help you, reach you, give you hope, some sort of gift,

There is no easy way to do this, the road ahead will be hard,

We will watch as we slowly loose you, the man that we once knew,

Everyday we will see a difference, but inside you will still be the same,

Until you don't even know me, unless somewhere they make a new breakthrough,

This is really hard for me, but for you, well it's the last dance,

As I sit at night at think of you, where you are, how confused you must be,

I sorely wish it was in my gift, to break this dream this hellish trance,

But sadly, no, I just have to watch, as you continue to spiral down away from me,

Love is never truly felt ,unless you face the final act, you cant do anymore,

For me the feeling of uselessness is felt as an unanswered question from the heart,

Could I have done more for you, been there, listened to you more,

Or was I completely snared by long gone feelings from the start?
