I had a bad dream
Last night
About a friend
Who wanted to die
Telling me
He couldn’t handle life
So he was going to commit
Suicide
Voices
Were screaming
Inside of my head
Telling me
To say something
Tell him to stop
Before he was dead
So I screamed his name
And told him not to do it
That he meant so much to me
Without him,
I would die too
I told him
'I love you'
And 'I don’t want to miss you'
He told me
To close my eyes
And turn away
For he didn’t want me
To see him die this way
The voices in my head
Were louder now
I screamed his name again
But it was too late
He had jumped
And now was dead
I woke up
Tears falling from my face
Only to realize
It was a dream
But it seemed so real
To me
Now, I sit in class
Wondering if he’s alright
Hoping I’ll get to talk to him
Again tonight
I’ll never mention this
To him
For it would be hard
And sad
But if I did
Hopefully he would be touched
Thankful, I care so much
Maybe I will
So he can reassure me
That I don’t need to worry
