Don't Cry

Forget, sounds good,
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals all pain,
But i think I'll be left with my failing shame.

You made it clear you didn't want help,
But I tired and all I did was fail.
You don't want me to tell Lisa or Ashleigh,
So now I can only talk to Helen, while from this world you bail.

You've told me not to cry over you,
but that's all I seem to be able to do.
I'm sorry I hurt myself for you too,
But it seems to be the only way I can release.

My poor beautiful girl,
You've given up hope.
It's from all that pain you help inside,
You would never let any tears out and you would never mope.

I'm sorry I can't take your pain away,
But if I could, I would have done it long ago.
I still wish there was something I could do today,
But you made it clear that you want to fix it yourself.

You've told me several time you might leave,
And each time I cry.
I've told you how my heart is full of sorrow and how it seems to heave,
But you said it might be better if you just die.

My poor beautiful girl,
Don't cry when you read this.
Don't let those tears soil your eyes,
And I'll tell you now, it's your smile I will miss.
