Arabia

The barrier breaks her confidence
A one-sided window full of secrecy
The water swells up her eyes and 
Molds her face into expression 
One that hinders the notion of 
One's own acceptance.
Petrified by fear and lost in hate
Of what, you cannot tell 
What it is or where it comes from
Except that it is directed towards
Herself and seems to stem from
Everywhere and everything

So you find yourself
Spewing out useless information 
Words you don't even believe
Cliche meaningless statements
You wanted to help her, but by
Your own fault, and yours alone
You assisted only in her downfall 
Spiral crash and burn in denial 
How can you help those who 
Cannot help themselves?
