Fine, But Tie Your Own Noose

How can you ask of me

That I witness your death?

That I just drop all I have

And come watch you die?

You plead for me to help you

To help with something

Far beyond my understanding

I don’t know how to stop you

So if you want to die that’s fine,

But tie your own noose

And let me live my life

Without this all-consuming guilt

Of course I couldn’t save you

I’m only human,

What do you expect?

I am lowly, but at least I can live my life

If you are so content on dieing

Then die and let that be that

Don’t drag me into it

Don’t make me feel so horrible inside

I know I’m the nice guy

I’m your bright side

But I just can’t take it anymore

Stop showing up on my doorstep

Because in the end

I don’t want to help you,

I am so tired

Of your problems and your weakness

It is always me that’s there

To try and help,

But truly

I am just fighting the inevitable

If you want to die,

That’s fine,

But don’t ask me to tie the noose

And don’t ask me to feel guilty

Because I tried to save you

I tried so hard

But you’re hopeless

So just end it and leave me alone
