Watching Them Drown

Its cold and dark outside,
And all I can hear is the screaming,
And all i can see is their suffering.
Cant I have change this?
Can't I do something to make them stop ?
Now they are here drowning,
Drowning in a pool I help let them fill
Filled with the thing that can kill.  
I should stop them ,
Save them from these addictions,
Protected them from the effects
And help them find they're way back.
But I am just sitting here
Watching them drown.
I am just walking away and saying nothing
If I had could say something
That something could have save their lives
And maybe they think i have no right to tell them what to do,
And I think I have no right
But their lives are in my hands.
And I must help them now
Help them from drowning more
Help them from killing themselves more everyday.
