Lately he’s been around more,
Here and yet not here,
I try to get him to stay,
Here outside of his mind,
For I fear if I don’t I will lose him,
To his mind,
So he’s with me in the mornings,
I find him during lunch,
Skipping lunch,
To stay with him,
To make him stay,
I talk about anything I can think of,
Doesn’t matter what,
The other day I considered,
Selfishly,
Not doing this,
Cause It’s a lot to deal with,
When I mentioned this,
Someone said “Why would you? ,
He needs you”,
I think,
‘No, he needs her’,
After thinking it over I decide,
That maybe they’re right,
At this point,
Right or wrong,
I couldn’t walk away,
Especially not now,
Even if I wanted to,
Not that I do,
So I find myself trying to help,
To make sure he survives this,
Survives what she’s done to him,
For when its time to leave,
I watch him walk away,
Silently praying,
That even if it’s just for today,
That he will be okay
