You continually make me cry
the way you try and say goodbye
the way you try to smile
even though you havent been happy for a while
the way you hide how you feel
the way your scars will never heal
the way you call me at night
out of fury and pure fright
the way your dad hurts you
the way you are always blue
the way you walk down the street
the way you are beat
but you also always make me happy
with the poems you write that are sappy
with the jokes you always tell
and how you ask if i'm well
how you talk to me everyday
and the way you always stay
no matter how much i cry
no matter how much i lie
so it was today that i realized
that without you i would have been paralyzed
without you by my side
i would have surely died
by now i would have killed myself
if it wasn't for your help
thank you for being with me from the start
i love you with all my heart
