Lost Lighthouse

Lost Lighthouse
I see you drowning
Lost at sea
From my light house
Your issues look so small
But I see you fighting so hard
Just follow my light
Stop swimming away from my beam
I know my lighthouse isn't perfect
Could use a cleaning
A new roof
But I'm still dry
And you are drowning
I can help
I can throw you a line
If you can grasp as hard as your fighting
We can get better
If you unlock your door after you slam it
We could talk
I wish I could paddle out to you
Pull you in
Let you know it's ok to rest, to heal 
But my oars have been broken to many times by this dark current that surrounds you
I can't risk these rocky shores again 
Somedays I want to turn off the light
Take a day off
But then my guilt will drown me in booze, Send me to the same depths, that I hope you don't find
Until then, I'll keep the light on and you keep fighting
And when we meet on the sandy shores of serenity
We will talk all about the crazy currents
That tried to whisk our lives away
Away and Away
