The shadow in your eye..
The kink behind your smile.
I can see it all so clearly,
I recognize the pain.
Digging through leeches
Superficial greetings.
I need to see your heart.
If I show you mine,
Maybe then you'll show me yours.  
I was just like you
Waiting for your heart,
Too scared to show you mine.
But here I am
I've never truly gone,
Sure I've never truly been there
I waited for your core
Too scared to show you mine
I finally see.
In the shadow of your eye
Depression raging on
How could I have been so blind.

I was born to save you
And now it's too late
Maybe your depression outgrew mine
I Should've shown you my heart
But now you're gone.
Even in our distance
You were my one truth
And now it's time for this to end.
I have failed you my friend
I should have given you...
My heart
I didn't get there on time.
Too depressed to see the struggle my only long term and current friend battled.  Depression can leave you spending all thoughts on making it through a day.  Do not ever forget that the person who bothers to check up on you regularly might need the same from you sometimes.  Don't neglect all that you have.   This deserves much better but is a rough draft.
