Hello Dear Friend (circa 2006/2007)

This is an old one. I found some stuff I wrote my senior year in high school. I like the rhythm and flow of this, although some parts are a little corny.


Hello Dear Friend

Hello dear friend, it sure has been a while.
But I have been informed of your thoughts so suicidal.
I’ve worn those shoes and walked those miles.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to diminish your pain.
I’m just here to show you that the rain does and will go away.
The sun will break loose and warm your pale flesh,
And you can smile to yourself and take in a deep breath.
Now the rest is up to you.
You can keep on moving on or find yourself lost in another sad song.
And maybe I’m wrong,
But I don’t understand how I made you feel worthless
When all I did was show you life’s purpose.
But what hurts is
I’ve emotionally drained myself just to keep you breathing.
I’d give you the world just to keep you from leaving it.
So whats deceiving is that fact that friends are rarely forever.
Even if I gave my all, I could always do better.
Because apparently all I seem to do is dampen your weather,
When all I want for you is sunny skies
And I realize sometimes the truth can be brutal when you’re used to lies.
But sugarcoating has obviously got you no where in life.
So maybe I spoke a little too honestly.
And maybe you’d rather hide behind your suicidal philosophy.
And maybe you wish I wasn’t always there
And maybe you’d be better off if I didn’t fucking care.
But I’d like to think I was nothing but your friend,
By your side through the end, keeping you alive through thick and thin.
And if I hurt you, I guess this is my apology.
This is my sorry, my regrets of giving all of me.
