To a friend

[TigerLily]

Huddled in a corner,
I see you in my mind,
Alone, and living without,
The peace you seek to find.

Frightened in a corner,
Tears running down your face,
Wishing you could be anywhere,
But in this hellhole of a place.

Crying in a corner,
I wish there was something I could do,
If only we could turn back time,
If only I knew.

Desperate in a corner,
I see you reach your hand,
To reach the blade to take away,
This pain you could no longer stand.

Don’t return to that corner,
That could have taken you away from me,
Don’t forget how much I love you,
And just how loved you will always be.

Don’t forget that you’re amazing,
And don’t stop believing in tomorrow,
Don’t forget your immense strength,
That will pull you through your sorrow.

Don’t forget I’ll always be here,
Even through the darkest of your days,
And that your courage and spirit
To me, will never cease to amaze.

Don’t forget your beauty,
Both on the inside and the out,
Don’t forget that little fighter,
Whose courage none can doubt.

And maybe this is selfish,
But it is what I need to say,
Please don’t ever leave me,
Because I just couldn’t live that way.


I wish I could say this wasn't based on true life...
