To the lovely friend who wrote those fateful four words: You are not alone

Do you know
That your name is a prayer
When I can't sleep at night
And the voices have closed in on my thoughts

Do you know
That those four words
In your thin scrolling
Are etched into the broken pieces of my heart

Do you know
That my eyes burn
And tears slide down silently
Because I am afraid of my own rampant thoughts

Do you know
That the only reason
I get through the day is because you take their place

But Darling,
Do me a favor, please?
Take all the memories
Every single smile and laugh and bad joke
Save them for me, okay?
I'll need them when I escape from this dark place
I'll need to learn to smile again

So this is not my favorite, but ... I tried, okay guys? Jeez. Kidding! But I don't like it that much.

So which one is your favorite? Mine is the one for my grandma. I adore that woman, her quirks, flaws, eccentric personality, and her big mouth to match. <3
