Powerless

It’s the end of her,
But it’s not the end of me.
My heart’s about to break
As I see her slip beneath the waves.
An ocean of death rolls over her.
What can I do to save her?
Blindly she walks forward
Into the demon’s arms.
Blindly she is drawn to death.
Blindly she is going down,
Bound against a stone.
Powerless to interfere
I watch in horror
The scene laid out before my eyes.
I don’t know how I’ll make it
When she’s gone,
Gone to love’s binding grave.
But, the guilt I feel now
Will never go away
Although I may not end today
Today I watch my sister die.
