The smallest action can have the greatest consquences.
Maybe that is the meaning of being a "teenager",
of being young -
that you can do these stupid things,
and not see the consquences for what they are.
How was I to possibly know that doing drugs,
that partying everyday, and sleeping with whomever
could bring about this?
How could I see that I would inadvertantly
Cause your terrible downfall?
Cause you to think your life isn't worth living,
and that for you to die would
fix everything.
That what I was doing
Was hurting you psychologically,
that you could not handle it, like I could.
Now I have you hooked on it -
on the drugs, the alcohol, the sex,
the stealing, the "trouble-making",
I have you hooked on it all
and I can do nothing.
Nothing to stop you,
nothing to save you,
but maybe to quit myself,
which I cannot do -
for I am hooked, too, you see.
It is the worst thing in the world -
to see it happen to someone else,
someone you love,
and know it is your fault, your weakness
that is causing it.
I love you, and don't want to give you up,
but I see that you are falling,
Falling into darkness.
Tears escape my eyes,
For I know I will bring about your death,
And what can I do to help you?
Nothing.
I am but a teenager,
How was I to see this coming?
