Baby Girl

Baby Girl,
You know the world is filled with pain,
Death,
And agony!

You know so much,
That no one else has common sense enough to know!

I know you do, Because I've been where you are,
And I've been blessed enough to share in and learn from your knowledge.

Baby Girl, you know this pain,
You've met this agony.
Your mind wanders to thought of this death
And you wonder why...

Baby Girl,
I think you should know that I ponder what you say,
Late at night.

Baby Girl,
I remember what you're going through,
Almost detail for detail.
I remember those thoughts that poison your mind,
And burn your heart with thoughts of suicide.

Baby Girl,
I know you're scared,
I know you're heart breaks,
And your soul dies a little more with each step you take,
Each breath you make.
I know you want to,
How you feel the need to, cut off your time here.
I've been there.

Baby Girl,
Do you know?
Do you know that I love you!?
And that I pray for you every moment I think of you and every time I see you?

Baby Girl,
Did you know that I care for you?
Did you know that it kills me when I see the pain that fills your eyes?

Baby Girl,
I think you should know that I'm, scared, too!
I think you should know that I worry about you!
I think you should know that I think about you into the late hours of night.

Baby Girl,
I want you to know,
That you're special to me,
And with each death wish and run-off plan my heart dies a little more.
I want you to know,
That as I look back on those things you say,
As I lie awake,
My eyes burn with tears...
And the tears soak my pillow!
Because I would hate to see you go.
I want you to know.

Baby Girl,
I know that I can't change your mind about anything.
I just need you to know that you're cared for by me,
Sometimes you are the only thing that keeps me going!
And I need you to know that no matter what,
I'm here for you and you'll always be my best friend!
Please don't go!
Baby Girl!
