I watched you bleed

All we can do is love,
Even if we watch them drown and die,
Hold on to them,
As they cry and cry,
We cling to their hands,
We kiss their tears dry,
But in the end,
We still have to learn,
How to say goodbye,
I watched as you cut your skin to shreds,
Like white paper,
It tore to bits,
Watched as the garnet bracelets began to show,
Round your arms,
Your wrist,
Your thighs,
Anywhere they could possibly go,
I watched you starve,
Your eyes sunken deep,
I watched you die,
I watched you bleed.
