While you are crying tonight.

While you are crying tonight.

A Poem by Calypso

-Verse one-
You are here.
(in front of me)
I can tell you've been crying, but yet you lie.
You tell me that you aren't going to
kill yourself
or that you don't still love your late mother.
You lie and don't care.
But yet I pray....
-Chourse-
I raise my hands to the God above.
He has to see your tears.
he has to love you.
That's when I pray for peace for you and I.
That's when I pray for helping me forgive all your lies.
Tonight while you're crying,
When yo want to kill yourself,
That's when I will pray for you.
-Verse two-
You look for love in all the wrong places.
And you make it your goal.
Those boys don't care as much as I do.
They only see your imperfections.
Those boys crush your soul.
I'm your friend and I know that the
perfect one will soon come.
Please sleep tonight with out the nightmares.
-Chourse-
-Verse three-
Your suicidal

I know that.
The gun in the corner of your room has purpose for the end.
Please don't die.
Stay here.
Here...
Hear me when I tell you you're sick and things will be fine.
But you scream "You don't see the world like I do!"
You most have forgotten that I was suicidal not too long ago.
-Bridge-
You can place your head on my shoulder and cry.
I will try to hold back my emotions.
I understand now why you lied to me.
You was lying to yourself.
Why won't you forgive yourself.
I already have...

Sorry, The impulse, not the desire.

Ms. Tina Kline, I know you are wrong. The desire is not brief, it can be life long. I know that. But I agree. Not just people but things, like quotes, or a job, can give you a reason, purpose. If you have a lack of friendship and family you tend to read thing, you are drawn to the darkness. But in the darkness one can find light, as I have. (I'm not qouting anyone.) Just one simple sime from a stranger, or a kind word. Oh, I'm sorry. I truely felt a resonance with this peom that I have with few things. Thank you!

When someone is suicidal they really need someone to hold on to them. The desire to die can last a long time but the impulse to actually do it is brief, if someone is there to really help them then it can make all the difference. This is wonderful.

This is excellent! Even in the darkest times of this persons life there is always somebody like you praying for her! There will always be somebody to fall back on who will understand you and always be there to love and comfort you.
There are tons of people who can relate to this I'm sure!
Great Write!

This is really, really good. And it's real. I think that this is something that a lot of people could relate to. It kind of gives the sense of a feeling of hope in a sea of darkness, suffering, or sorrow. Again, this piece is great!
