My Friend

To see what she is going through,

To exactly have known what she knew,

To let life start to slip through uncaring hands,

Just falling into deaths grasping fires of death.

I know how she feels,

I have been through it, I know it's real,

I know exactly what she is turning to,

I know, I did it too.

I wish i could take her pain,

And get rid of todays rain,

I wish i could save her,

But how when she isn't here.

Her heart is broken,

There are no words that can be spoken,

To make her okay,

There is nothing nor no one but him who can take away her pain.

If only i could take her silver ship,

Making sure it never made a sea turn red,

If only i could be the friend i should have been,

Maybe she wouldn't have ever started this.

If she doesn't make it,

I know what i will have to do,

I will have too die,

Only to make it right.

Why is it i cannot take her pain away,

Or even help her to smile,

Is it because i still am in pain,

Or that i am still breaking....

I have to help her,

I have to save her,

I have to,

There's no choice anymore.

I loved these lines:

If only i could take her silver ship,
Making sure it never made a sea turn red,

I don't know, they created a great image in my head.

This is really sad...it sucks to feel helpless, know that you can't help someone you care about, especially when you're still broken too. It's a really good write, expressing sadness and pain.

A strong poem about desperately wanting to help a friend. The poem seems personal though the info is a bit fuzzy which is understandable since I don't know the person for whom the poem is about. The poem itself was well written and there were no noticeable errors. Overall, a very good poem with a sad subject.

This brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure whoever this is for would feel a lot better to know that someone cared
