Why do you just stay
Sat in that chair
In a dark dark room
Do you like it in there?

I know for a fact
You really don't
But when i ask you to move
You say you wont

Why wont you listen
I want to help
Don't make me leave,
Leave you to yelp

I try to touch you
You bat me away
It doesn't seem to matter
What I say

You just stay
Sat in that chair
I begin to think
you must like it there

I want to take you
Out of the dark
To see the birds and the bees
The dogs and the lark

Maybe it's hopeless
But I wont give in
You dont deserve it,
Have commited no sin

So take my hand
Just like before
Only this time
I'll help you more

I'll give you what you need
And that I swear
Lean on me all you want
I'll always care

I just ask one thing
If you leave me behind
For better or worse
I'll always be kind

No matter what you do
No matter what you say
No matter whether you hurt me
I'll wait here every day

If you ever come back
I dont know that you will
But if you ever do
I know that we'll

Be just like before
No words need be spoken
You can be happy
You're no longer broken.
Perhaps a follow up to Take My Hand, perhaps not.
Sorry, I sent it
It's lost in the post
At the bottom of the sea
Not far from the coast

Of course i sent it
Why wouldn't I?
So? its not there
No need to cry

Just get another one
Don't you dare be sad
If you think about it
It's not that bad

Others too expensive?
Well thats just fate
Just buy another
Or have food on your plate

Oh, you wanted it?
To have fun with your friends?
Promises, promises,
All have their ends

This poem is over
Right off the bat
I ruined your life
So just live with that.
I can't feel my arms
I'm being dead serious
There was so much pain
I'm not being delirious

I can't feel my legs
I walked so far
But now its so dark
I don't know where they are

I can't feel my neck
Its like it just snapped
Over in seconds
Crack crack crack

Tears down my face
In so much pain
But before I knew it
I was numb again

Nothing is left
But the sound of the drum
Or as you know it, the heart beat
Tuh tum tuh tum tuh tum

I can't feel anything
It's not just in my head
Now the truth is plain...


I am dead.
Not one of my best, but my old friend said she very much related to it
'Drama queen' they sneer at you
As you pass them in the hall
If you had your own way
They wouldn't be there at all

In all honesty,
You wouldn't be there too
But if you could control your fate
The things that you could do...

Once or twice you told them
Some things about yourself
Then the rumours started
'she has bad mental health'

Now the way they look at you
As you pass them in the hall
Is very different from before
You don't like it at all

One day it will go to far,
The writing's on the wall
And when these rumours go too far
You wont be there at all.
I'm really dissapointed
It's hard to explain
But everytime I loose
You all seem to gain

I try to be supportive
And to be happy too
But if I can't achieve
I'm worthless to you

I don't get why your still here
Standing by my side
I told you the truth
I've nothing left to hide

Beyond sight
Beyond mind
But still, to me,
You are kind

You say that you can help me
I have my doubts you can
But instead, I take your hand
And hope you have a plan

I see you try so hard
But what will be your goal
You try to bring salvation
To this torn and battered soul

I soon realise its working
You slowly help me out
I thought this was impossible
How did this come about?

I can see the progress
Try to think how to thank you
So now i have decided
I will help you too

So we stick together
Through good and bad and worse
I now know we can make it through
And together lift the curse
Named by an old friend

— The End —
