You said you liked me

by matthew   Jul 28, 2005


You said you liked me,
And trusted me through and through,
Now you've told me everything,
I just don’t know what to do.

I know now why you were depressed,
And always made yourself bleed,
Other people told me about your painful past,
Their warnings I should have showed heed.

But I had to know,
So I asked you why you were sad,
You told me all you secrets,
You really have been hurt bad.

Then you got angry,
Though that you didn't know,
You just suddenly started to shout,
It made me so low.

How had I hurt you,
By just wanting you to be happy,
But from that moment that you shouted,
My life just got crappy.

You never talked to me at school,
Plain ignored me as though I was dead
I just couldn't understand,
The feelings in your head.

I finally couldn't take it,
And told you my confusion,
You said that I wasn't to blame,
And your anger had been an illusion.

I thought for ages,
Trying to think how to make you feel better,
And I could think of nothing,
And then I saw the letter.

Ive got to go now,
And join my mum and dad,
But I just want to thank you,
For all the good times we had.

Although you never knew it,
I loved you from the start,
And know that as the blade cuts me,
I do it with you in my heart.

I cant see you hurt,
That pain I couldn't bare,
So I have to stop my life,
But it’s only for you I care.

As I sat in horror,
And read your word of goodbye,
The truth suddenly hit me,
And I broke down and started to cry.

I soon recovered,
And didn't stop until I got to your door,
But the thing that lay there,
Was the most horrific thing I ever saw.

I called the ambulance,
They tried to revive you from what seemed a peaceful sleep,
But you had already left us,
And all I could do was weep.

So this is my memory of you,
My friend through it all,
The person whom I loved and who loved me,
Who’d picked me up when Id fall.

So now I'm leting go,
This is my final farewell,
Ill never forget you,
The friend I knew so well.
