"Listen"

It weighs me down
He asks whats wrong
I try not to say
He pushes me; I tell him
He burdens himself
He tries to solve the problems
I see it hurt him yet he will not stop
I don't want him to take my burdens upon himself
How do I save him without destroying myself
I want to help him yet he never lets me
I try to listen but he asks me questions
How do I not answer
He is logical yet stubborn
I tell him but he never tells me
He is my best friend but he can't see why I want to help him
Others agree he burdens himself needlessly
How do I protect him from my harsh world
He calls me "Guide" but how do you guide one who won't follow
I want to save him from my insanity
I want to listen to him.
