What it is like to Love Someone Suffering

Don't forget to take your medicine; because I love you.

Talk to me about how you're feeling; because I love you.

Are you having a rough day? I promise you'll be okay.

Just lay with me for now. Because I love you.

You can't get out of bed today?

You're tired but you can't sleep?

Your fingers won't stop shaking and you don't feel anymore?

Please - don't forget to take your medicine; because I love you.

I want to give you happiness; because I love you.

I want to be the light in a dark place; because I love you.

But you're subconsciously pushing me away; even though you know I love you.

I miss you now

I miss knowing you're okay

I miss telling you I love you

Please - come back to me

Please - I just want to helo

Please - I don't forget to take your medicine; because I love you

this poem was inspired by my best friend who has suffered from depression andanxiety for the last six yearsShe'd go through phases where we were always together, because I was a sense oflove and light, or sometimes she would push me away without even knowing it.And I love her through all of her days and she'll always be my best friend
