Should I? Poem by Jeremy Rodriguez

As I see you run away in fear
Should I chase after you?

As I see the tears streaming down your face
Should I wipe them away?

As I see the blood streaming from your wrists
Should I take the blade away?

As I see you stumble and fall
Should I take the drink away?

As I see the bruises on your face
Should I block your mother's fist?

As I see you hanging from the ceiling
Should I take a knife and cut you down?

As I see you shivering from the cold
Should I take a blanket and cover you up?

As I see you standing at the edge of the cliff
Should I run over and pull you back?

As I try to help you and you push me away
Should I stop caring so damn much about you?
