Array ( [sid] => 94385 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Day-By-Day [time] => 2005-05-14 21:37:31 [hometext] => I'm slipping away slowly... day-by-day [bodytext] => They are losing me
Day by day
They don’t realize it
But it’s happening anyway
Friends don’t know how to help
Or what to do
They don’t know why
They don’t know what’s true
All they do
Is yell at me
For not talking
Why can’t they let me be?
They all push me away by prying
They don’t draw me in
Only one pulls me closer
But I push myself away from him
Why do I do this?
I don’t know why
But I’ve given up on trying
And I’m ready to die
Friends say I can’t go
But I could easily leave
They don’t think so
They don’t believe
But wait ‘til they wake up
And the phone is ringing
Then when they answer
They hear a voice calmly saying
‘Your friend is dead’
Then friend asks ‘how?’
‘Shot herself in the head’
Friend is surprised I did it, but
She goes back to bed

Didn’t realize she lost her friend
Over a long period of time
Thought she lost her
Just over one night

But in reality
She lost her day-by-day

what? shel, this is so... erg ok. if u dont want to talk then fine, dont, but its not helping u. u say i should be open to u. i am in all honesty... but listen, even if it is hard for u (tho i dont kno why it would be) we push becuz u r doing and saying things that r serious, and we care n only want u to be happy u believe that dont u?
They don’t know why
They don’t know what’s true

no we dont kno whats true becuz ur not telling us... it takes two to communicate shel, two to keep a relationship going. right now, im only feeling one... and thats me. this poem sent me a message, i think what was disguised as a call for help... if not well then sry. but im hearing your call and im responding, r u recieving at the other end? im here shel, dont die on me. dont EVER do nething u hear? gosh this is so long. well, i continue to send hope n love,
