You

You’re right, no one knows all the things that hurt you,

That doesn’t mean nobody cares.

You’re wrong, if you think no one listens,

I’ve listened and will listen again.

I agree, not everyone sees the tears you cry,

Those who have, know you need, to cry more.

The people in the past, you have leant on,

Will be there to lean on again.

I contest, that people mean to annoy you,

It’s you, denying your fears.

Bottling every emotion inside,

Never releasing that river of tears.

I’m not saying I know what you’re thinking,

But I do understand where you are.

We both know the solution is never the same,

And the paths we take never easy.

You say there is no love in your heart,

Yet I see it when I look in your eyes.

It isn’t the raging fire it was,

But it’s there if searched for deeper.

I know what happened two years ago,

I can’t understand how that hurts.

However in my heart I strongly believe,

I’ve learnt a few things in my life

I admire the love you have for your mum,

She must have been one hell of a lass.

However, my dear I think she would say,

Son, don’t wish your life away.

I understand why you want out of this world,

For I long to be with my brothers.

Our time will come in it’s own sweet time,

Then we’ll both enter heaven with a smile

Your mam and my brothers are waiting,

At St. Peter’s Gate for us.

Their voices we hear again and again,

Saying don’t wish your lives away

I like this, it's full of heart-felt emotion and wisdom and describes someone's grief/depression very effectively. Annie :)
