i swear i can see you ahead
i raise my arm to wave at you
and then remember.. you're dead

If only you knew what you did to me
how much pain you've caused my heart
and if i only had one wish
i would take us back to the start

back to before i met you
and before you knew of me
i'd prepare myself for what lay ahead
and wouldnt be so blind, i'd see

how dangerous it was to know you
how unstable you had always been
all those desperate outbursts
i wish i had never seen

No more dangerous 'conspiracies'
I wouldnt join your crazy games
I would do what we always joked i would do
i would finally have you tamed

It would never come to what it has
A scribbled note left on your shelf
I'd turn you into the boy i once knew
And I'd save you from yourself
*****

Hello. This makes me ache inside for you. I'm sorry about your friend. My prayers are with you.

I know what it's like to lose someone and I'm really sorry about your loss. You can feel your pain in your words, and they do your situation justice.

My favourites are your first and last stanzas. I like your first stanza mainly because it's something I've done many times. I'd dream about the person I'd lost, and then wake up in the morning thinking they are still alive. It's the worst feeling when you remember they are actually gone.

I think you're last stanza is the perfect way to end your poem. I love every line, and when I read, "And I'd save you from yourself" it hits really hard.

keep writing, keep hoping
