I don't know why she came to me
Seeking answers
The same ones I seek
I know what it's like to feel so alone
Bad family
No friends
And a broken home
I wish I knew the words to say
What can I do to make her stay?
It's frightening to me how much she hates life
Seeking solace in her knife
I beg her not to do it
To stick around
I pray to God
My knees hit the ground
She just doesn't see how much people care
All of the love
Of which she's not aware
She says "it would be better if I went away"
Words more untrue
She could never say
I don't pray often
Put I pray now
God, she needs to get through this
Please show her how
She says "I will not cut any more"
And I hope to God it's true
I hope you can see
TJH
How much I care for you.
