Poems For The Lonely And Depressed

Before You Become My Friend

I have certain things to tell you,
before you become my friend.

I have insecurities in my head,
and every second I start believing them a little more.

So I have rising walls,
that keep people away.

I have certain things to tell you,
before you become my friend.

I like to sing,
but I probably won't do it in front of you.

I have trust issues and I just don't trust you much yet.

Don't be mad,
it's just right now your a stranger.

And it's hard for me to trust people,
I don't know much about.

There's also the fact that,
you don't trust me either.

So let's take baby steps,
and learn to trust each other.

I have certain things to tell you,
before you become my friend.

I have rising walls,
that you might have to break down.

It will be hard though,
because most of them are reinforced with steel.

You don't have to worry,
I don't have walls because of you.

They're there to protect me,
from the snide remarks and insults.

I have certain things to tell you,
before you become my friend.

My rising walls have never been dented,
or been broken through.

But I might make a weak spot,
just for you.

If you can find it,
then I know what you can do.

You can barrel past my defenses,
straight to my heart.

If you want to,
you could pick up its shattered pieces.

And put it back together,
or you could see the damage and just leave.

Please don't though,
if you do, I'll be lonely.

And after awhile,
I wouldn't be here anymore.

I have certain things to tell you,
before you become my friend.

I have rising walls,
that hide a heart you could mend.

But if your that kind of person,
you could instead come to rend.

I have one certain thing to ask you,
before you become my friend.

If I fall apart in pieces,
will you put me back together again?
