slowly die

she sits in her bed
rolled up tight
as she remembers
that cold dark night

she thought of her friend
and what she had been told
her room was so warm
but she was so cold

it was hard to believe it
she didnt want it to be true
her best friend had cut
what should she do?

she cant tell a soul
of what she had learned
but she had to save her friend
before she crashed and burned

she wanted to help her bestie
with the problems she had
but she didnt know what
had made her life so bad

her friend wouldnt open up
she wouldnt tell her why
every night for 2 and 1/2 years
she would sit in her room and cry

she was at a loss
she asked other people that knew
she asked for their advice
on what she could do

they told her to tell
and the rest was up to them
but she couldnt do that
not to her best friend

she kept her secret
buried safe inside
and she sat next to her friend
and watched her slowly die...
