If you're really sad
Don't say it's good
If you think that it is bad
Don't pretend
You can't hear what I say
Please don't end your life this way

Don't shed a tear
If you do not care
Don't say you're close
If you are already there
Don't look back
To those yesterdays
Please don't end your life this way

You've done some wrongs but you've been strong
You've played the perfect game
I know your heart's been ripped apart
You cannot start again

Don't make a promise
That you cannot keep
Don't say you're tired
If you will not sleep
Don't think the hurt
Can be kept at bay
Please don't end your life this way

Don't give up
I'm not sure you'll try
Don't say 'Hello'
If you mean 'Goodbye'
Is this the end?
Because you're in decay
Please don't end your life this way [comments] => 4 [counter] => 205 [topic] => 48 [informant] => chrisdavid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Don't fake a smile if you're really sad so often so difficult to show real feelings when society preaches a sermon of happiness, caring heartfelt write

This was such a heartbreaking, yet beautifully written poem. Very emotional. Great job.
