Relapse

Your cries out for help reach my ears

I come to you, and ask you what's wrong

You tell me about pain and all your fears

I tell you it's ok and give you a song

You tell me it helps and you are thankful

I tell you it's not a problem giving you aid

Improvement comes, and you're grateful

But all too soon, the improvement fades

Things begin to get worse, the pain is back

I try to help you, get you through the day

It doesn't help and soon you crack

This crack causes you to collapse

You soon fall victim to a relapse
