CUT

One morning in the summer of '09, a depressed friend was talking to me about doing this, and I needed to immediately write this or emotionally snap because I wasn't used to hearing this level of pain.

A red line slowly appears on the soft pale tapestry,
A sting of pain gives diversion for the unbearable agony
It starts out as one stroke,
But soon the surface is covered and the sight of it makes me choke
Their pain is unimaginable,
Help is needed but can't be found,
No one can help them when they feel down
NOTHING works!
Friends stand by and watch helplessly as pain gives way to more
They just tell everyone to leave but they don't
Because that's what friends are for
A dark abyss lies ahead
Stretching forever in its stead
What can I do? What can be done
Light is searched for but there is none
Only one thing to do
Nothing else makes sense
I'm through
CUT
