It's so hard to go through life
Separated from your friends.
Without a friend to tell everything to,
Be it everything that was great,
Or everything that wasn't,
You feel empty.
Alone.
Depressed.
Conversing via text,
Facebook,
Or snapchat
Just isn't the same.
You want someone to hug you
Or run up and surprise you
Just for the heck of it,
Or just to make you smile.
You want to feel the connection
When you look into someone's eyes
And can see their story.
And you want someone to listen
As you try to unravel your own.
Especially if you're broken
And torn to shreds
From all the use
Your so called friends at school
Put you through.
You want to know that someone's
There
At 3 am
When the tears and hurt won't stop.
But how do you know
If the person you text everyday
Will be there for you
When you think about ending it all:
The pain
The sleeplessness
The everything?
How do you know
They're there
When you never hear their voice
Or see what's behind their eyes?
How do you know
They're not fed up
With all of your life's problems?
How do you know...?

I don't.
