Can't Help You

Can't Help You

A Poem by Eli Stohl
"

"You know her perfectly well, better than her own head."

"

'Lately she's always on your

Mind

Lately she’s all you think about at

Night


And as you take a walk to clear your

Head

The stars in her eyes come to mind

Instead


There are a million ways to tell her

That she is the one

There are a million ways to tell her

But instead you

Run


Love can't help you

And you can't run

You just might fall

Or mess something up

Love can’t help you

You are afraid to love

You’re trapped inside of this feeling

And your mind is

Gone


Her beauty shines brighter

Than the ocean blue

But does she know that her beauty

Only shines for you

Does she know that behind

Her big brown eyes

It’s only you who can see

You aren’t deceived

You see all of her scars

You know each one by heart


Behind the makeup and the dress

You know why she’s depressed

You know her perfectly well

Better than her own head


But

You can’t make up your mind

You think you should hide

You wish upon a star

But you wish to die


You are trapped inside a box

She holds the key to the lock

All you have to do is ask

But you speak from behind a mask

Your words are slurred

Her vision of you blurred

And


Love can't help you

And you can't run

You just might fall

Or mess something up

Love can’t help you

You are afraid to love

You’re trapped inside of this feeling

You don't know what you’ve

Done
