I promised him i would try
But the only happy thought I have
Is the precious moment when I lose my life

No doctor could ever save me
No pill could take the pain away
All I need is someone who loves me
But he died yesterday

This skin yearns to be broken
My blood across the floor
He begged me not to do it
But my body is begging me more

So if I slice just once
Will all the pain be gone
Or will I be left with more
Than I've held in side for so long

And as I set the knife down
To edure life some more
I think of how he cared for me
He's what I'm living for [comments] => 4 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 32 [informant] => im_sory_i_cant_be_perfect [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

hello=)
well thi is sad and at the same time,a good write.i'm sorry that this happened,you'll be ok,and don't worry,keep your faith.don't ever try to take your life cuz he would cry,cuz he's watching you from above and i know you wouldn't want to hurt him.there should always be a reason to live and let him be what you're living for,and let him be your motivation and whom you dedicate all your triumphs in life and everything you do.smile,be happy,everything will be ok and you'll move on.i'm here if you ever need a friend to talk to,i've stopped my best friend from killing himself and i don't know what i would do if he wasn't in this world no more,so please don't be another one of those.it would truly break my heart.take care.
lots of love,
andrea
