Dear Friend

Contributed by ps_ihateyou on Friday, 13th August 2004 @ 12:57:39 AM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry



I still remember meeting you on that first day
I wanted to talk to you even though I had nothing to say
You never even once looked into my eyes
But I needed to talk to someone who didn't know all the secrets and lies
I was surprised the next day when you remembered my name
And after that, good friends we became
Then one day you disappeared, and just like that you were gone
I stayed up crying every night until dawn
But after a while, I was tired of feeling so alone
And I decided to call you on the phone
As soon as I heard your voice, my whole body began to shake
It had been such a long time since I felt so awake
We became even closer after that day
And it seemed all my pain was melting away
I could talk to you about anything, anything at all
And you were always there when I was about to fall
You never seemed to be that open with me
But i could tell you were trying to be the best friend you could be
Then one day, you just broke down
You told me all the reasons you frown
You told me everything that was wrong
And about how you'd been hurting for so long
I was overcome by all the secrets you had to tell,
All the secrets that you'd hidden so well
You told me what you needed me for
You needed help closing that door
I could be the one to save your life,
And get rid of all your pain and strife
After that moment, I did everything I could
Everything that a best friend should
But you didn't even seem to want to try
And every night, lying in bed, I couldn't help but cry
I cried for you and all the pain you felt
I cried for me and this mission I'd been dealt
From all the pressure I began to feel numb
And I couldn't help but want to run
But I couldn't just let you down
I had promised to always be around
And I'm still doing the best I can
I'm trying so hard to lend a helping hand
But you keep drifting further and further away
And I don't think I can deal with the pressure for one more day...
