I'd Never Let You Drown Alone

when you cut too deep you start to cut your friends hearts

remember that they will always care for you no matter what you have done

a true friends love for you cant be killed by a mistake or a few careless words

 

Rain crashed down around broken smile

Broken homes broken hearts

Struggle through confusions tide

 

Black skies threaten to smother and choke

Trapped beneath blankets

Of 'sympathetic' stares

 

Drift through depression, slide under the surface

Alone you fall

Together we fly

 

 

Let awareness swirl and disappear

Let insanity fade away the fears

Let go the pain that brought these tears

Just let go now, I am here

 

 

Head held high, shoulders slouched

Stride through the hall

Of disappointed glares

 

More than was asked, less than expected

Welcome scornful smiles

While you hide your tears

 

Drift through depression, slide under the surface

Alone you fall

Together we fly

 

 

Let awareness swirl and disappear

Let insanity fade away the fears

Let go the pain that brought these tears

Just let go now, I am here

 

 

I'll never let go

I am always near

When i say I'll listen

I really hear.

 

Let awareness swirl and disappear

Let insanity fade away the fears

Let go the pain that brought these tears

Just let go now, I am here

 

Never could I let go,

With death holding you near.

In pain you scream release,

In love for you I always hear.

 

 

You can never disappoint a true friend but you can make them proud...

Very nice, Rachel.

Is this meant to be a song? I think it'd be great if there was a melody to it.

Great work. Thanks for sharing!

Loves,

you may want to put the explanation paragraph at the beginning. Remember think like a reader when looking at your work. The subject should be clear or become clear through out the read of the poem. Maybe ditch the explanation and come up with a overview paragraph in the poem format to stick in the first to give the reader the right Idea. Once reading the explanation I reread and changed the whole thing for me.

A very heartfelt piece...I was crying at the end.
