All it Takes


All it takes, is smile and a high-five, To push someone over the edge, or keep them alive. All it takes, is a rude comment or a glare, To make a life more than someone can bare, All it takes is a word or a song, To keep someone up and help them along. All it takes is ignorance and blame, To make someone's family, point to you and blame.. All it takes, is a death to open you eyes, To understand your mistakes and make you realize, This is no longer a laugh, no longer a game, These small things should put one to shame All it takes, is a backstabbing friend, To make someone want to put their life to an end All it takes, is someone willing and true, All it takes is a simple... I love you
