Afraid

im scared for you,
I know there's nothing I can do,
I try so hard to be your friend,
but I cant seem to mend,

the things that upset and anxious me,
im worried but I cant let you free,
im scared for you ,
I cant see you through,

im writing just to get through,
I cant seem to understand you,
I want you to understand,
how grateful you are and how life is grand,

but I cant manage yours with mine,
the stress is above what I can define,
I worry at night,
like a nightmare im deep in fright.
