My Friend Is In The Darkness..

My friend is in the darkness, she sits alone at night, every night
Begging the God above, to give her the strength to do it right
She yearns to leave this life, and I can't find the words to help her
She says to me," it's my family, they're the only thing stopping me", tonight
She worries that one day they won't be enough, to keep her in this life
How do I reach out to help, I try words, and they just melt away
I speak to her of my own experience, the blood I spilled one LONELY day
She just smiles, a knowing smile, and says, "I pray for that someday"
I call out to the heavens, a lonely, pitiful , scream of hate
For I cannot stand myself this way
There has to be a way...

My friend is in the darkness, and now I am with her in this eerie place
How I despise the world, on days like this, I find it hard to pray
I use my phone, her friends, her nephew, and yet I cannot break the silence
Growing in her, gnawing at her, taking her into the growing mileage
She's putting between us and her reality, please help her Lord, please
Let it be today,...can't you send an angel to help her from these stormy seas
This burden she carries is heavy, and somehow I understand this deplorable act
But I cannot, for the life of me, figure how to say to her friends, "she's not coming back".
I wish with all I am, although she will never read these words
That somehow these feelings find her, and open up the door
That behind it holds the light to places I've gone before
And lets her feel the love around her
My friend is in the darkness
Please just let her glimpse the light
Once more.....
