[hometext] => You've decided that you should just die and get it over with, well what about everybody here that still depends on you?
[bodytext] => You life is over, you’ve told me this There’s just no chance that we’ll ever live in bliss You say you have nothing, no reason to stay That everyone would be better off if you just went away So close you’ve come to just ending it now And I’ve got to convince you that isn’t the way somehow People here need you, love you and care To abandon us now just isn’t fair We’ve come to depend on your words of advice And contrary to what you believe it’s not just because you’re “nice” You’re the friend that I’ve been searching for throughout the years The only person who’s gotten me through all my fears I can open up and tell you what’s there Because somewhere deep inside I know that you care There's just a feeling of comfort that’s felt when we speak I felt if after only one week You can ask anyone, anyone that I’ve known and talked to I don’t tell them anything, really, but I tell them about you About how kind and compassionate and how great you are But how I still feel like you’re just so far You’re the only person that I’ve felt actually cared about me But even that, now, I just don’t see Everything you say I twist to make it a lie Every time you say something I just want to cry You’ve made such a difference to me, and you know it too You just seem to love playing the part of the fool You’ve agreed to meet me and I couldn’t be more overjoyed But I’m afraid that all will be left of you is a void You say once you’ve fulfilled your “duty” to me you won’t have a goal You will have finally played out your role If this is your plan, an idea that you can enter then just leave Then I’m here to tell you that it’s not what I need I need you to be here, to just be my friend Because friends are supposed to stay until the very end… [comments] => 1 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 48 [informant] => CeciliaBanks [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
