sunshine under your ribs

just please don't take your life away from me, friend.

its okay.

its okay to want all this to end

but this isn't where you die

i understand

you've changed

but it's not your fault

sometimes i would see you in a halo of pure light

and now i see you in a web of despair

i see it clutching at your mind

at your heart

begging you to give yourself up to it

to give in to the hopelessness

to the loneliness

its okay to not want to suffer anymore

but trust me, friend

this is not the way to go

i see you, in the future, going out with a spectacular bang

with fireworks

and people praising your name

it won't be like this

like this, with a blade and a bathtub

like this, with a bleeding heart and tearful eyes

trust me, friend

it will get better

it will get better

it will get better

i know this, for you are the strongest person i have ever

had the pleasure of knowing

you just have to hang on

just a little while more

it's okay to want the easy way out

everybody does

but sometimes the fight is hard

harder than anything you have ever faced before

and the road gets tough

but you just have to hold on

to your memories

of your father spinning you around in the garden

of your mother crying tears of joy at your graduation

of me, holding your hand until the small hours of the morning

to make sure your okay

know that things will get better

things will get easier

and i will be with you every step of the way

i will be by your side as you fight

your fight hidden from anyone on the outside

i will be there when your lips turn upwards and your eyes become bright again

because i believe with every inch of my soul, that

this isn't where you fall, love.
