Dear Friend

Dear friend please don’t leave

The dark clouds just won’t fade

I know I shouldn’t grieve

I know I shouldn’t be afraid

I know I shouldn’t cry

But deep inside I just want to die

Dear friend I know you're right

But I think I’ll be fine

Dear friend you say I need some guidance

That it won’t go away on its own

But I will not break my silence

I will be fine alone

Dear friend thanks for listening

You meant a lot to me

But I can’t go on

Dear friend please know I tried to get help

But nothing seemed to work

Please don’t cry or yelp

You will be okay

And so will I.
