5. I Saw it

I saw it

I saw the lines on your wrists
I saw the marks on your skin
I saw the bags under your eyes
I saw you-
Falling apart

Now that I can see your innocent face
Comfortably resting and at peace,
But it's not just the glass that separates us now
It is the world of the dead and the living.

Will you believe me if I say that I saw this coming?
I saw you shattering
But... I never did anything.
I saw you, I saw it,
Yet I never told you to slow down-

And breathe.
