Not My Role

by Mirna Almaz   Aug 22, 2007


It�s been a hard and long journey
It wasn�t easy for the both of us
I left and never came back
Left you alone and never asked.
Now you need me the most
And I try hard to be there when I can
But you have grown older
And I wasn�t there to see you mold
You have turned into the person you are today
And I barely know who you really are from inside.
I try hard now to be here for you,
To talk to you and hold your hand through life
You claim that I never cared in the first place,
And that now I come back into your life
To pick up from the place I left behind
You are right my dear one
For you don�t need me to help you up
It's just not my role to play�

It's been a hard and long journey
We both had our ups and downs
Fell in and out of love
Got hurt by life and its cruel ways
We didn�t always make it through
And yet we stood up alone again
Neither one of us helped the other
We never were there for one another from the start
Yet today we are friends again
Not because we want to
But because it just happened
It�s our blood that layed down the rules.
No one said it would be easy
And it hurts me knowing I can't help you through.
I'm sorry my dear one;
It's just not my role to play�

It's been a long and hard journey
And now I sit here watching you fall into your hole
The same one I once fell into
But this time it's your very own hole;
It was a dark and lonely place for me
And I'm sure it is hard on you too
But me, unlike you, I didn�t let myself be taken in
I climbed back out when life forced me to
I held on strong to my light of hope
I survived this on my own,
And I trust you shall too.
Today I stand and watch at a distance
For it's all up to you to help yourself out
I will not help you, I'm sorry
Not because I don�t want to
But because I can not�
It's just not my role to play�

Good luck my dear one, you are still at the start
Take care of yourself for your journey has just begun�
