Dear Little Child

by Willow   Aug 6, 2006


Dear Little Child.

Dear Little Child,
I want you to smile again.
Forget you were ever sad,
And forget you ever had the pain.

Dear Little Child,
I know you want to die.
I continually see you looking for that smile,
And I continually see you cry.

Dear Little Child,
Turn away from that knife.
You've told me you want to die,
You've told me you no longer want your life.

Dear Little Child,
Don't hate me for helping you.
Now I'm the one continually crying,
Because I don't know what to do.

Dear Little Child,
That blade doesn't need to crawl along your arm.
Throw it away with all those bad feelings,
And don't let it ever do harm.

Dear Little Child,
Don't hide behind that door.
One day you will stop this crying,
But please, don't hurt yourself anymore.

~For Tami. I'm sorry I tried to help you. Please don't hate me and Keara for caring about you~

    Willow, tami has fallen away from you and I know you want to help her, but she's dragging you down. She's making everything worse for you AND herself. You can help her, but make sure she doesn't end up hurting you in the process. It wouldn't do you any good in the long run. Please take care on how you go about this.

    Love Niquee
