Pain overwhelms me,
As they bully and they mock.
As I am outcasted, lonely,
Kicked out of the flock.
But then you were there,
And you stood by my side.
A friend; a saviour,
To whom I confide.
All my secrets and hopes,
My battles and dreams.
A person who supports me,
No matter how bad things seem.
Then you let a secret out,
And all the pain returned.
I let someone into my heart,
And betrayal was all I earned.
I was so close to giving up,
And losing the ongoing fight.
And it was right then I found out,
You'd killed yourself last night.
And then the truth unravelled,
You had a harder life than me.
And all you'd ever dreamt of,
Was to be set free.
Then we became friends,
And you'd felt a bit of hope.
I became the only person,
Who helped you try to cope.
And then you'd made an error,
A silly slip of tongue.
But when I let our friendship go,
Both of us got stung.
And though I passed the hard times,
Each day, I continue to cry.
The point is, I wouldn't be here,
If you hadn't chosen to die.
And every, single night,
As the stars brightly gleam.
I smile to myself,
And think about your dream.
You dreamt of a new life,
For both you and me.
And, now, I finally realise,
That you set us both free.
