Take My Hand

Tears fill my eyes,

As you say you wish to die.

I know you can find your way out,

But all you do is live in doubt.

*

You must understand you are not alone,

And you would be missed if you were gone.

Trust me when I say,

You'll come out of this haze one day.

*

Just take my hand,

And I'll help you stand.

I'm here because I'm your friend,

And your worth to much to let your life end.

*

You ask," Why do you want to save me?"

I know one day you'll be free.

You're to close to turn and leave.

This darkness is nothing in which to believe.

It's just trying to destroy your mind,

And put you in a tough bind.

*

Don't you see,

You're a friend to me.

I'm not going to hurt you.

That's something I'd never do.

So please listen to what I have to say,

Because I'd never lead you the wrong way.

*

It's not funny when you say,

"This will be my very last day."

I wish for those words not to be spoken,

But to be thrown away and for you to never again be broken.

*

So please take my hand,

Because I'll surely help you stand.

I'm here because I'm your friend,

And you're worth to much to let your life end.
