Freedom

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.
