Dear Friend

Dear friend,

I don't know how to say this.

I dont know how to say any of this.

 

Dear friend, 

I can't be your friend anymore.

I can't let this fester any longer.

 

Dear friend,

I don't know how to tell you, 

that I cry over you every night.

 

Dear friend,

I can't bring myself to tell you,

that your stories of him tear me apart.

 

Dear friend,

Your lifestyle keeps me up sick with worry.

Your philosophy on love make no sense.

 

Dear friend,

The voices convince me I always have a chance,

and false hope is where the pain comes from.

 

Dear friend,

It's all my fault  I know that

I'm so sorry I feel the way I do.

 

Dear friend,

You used to take me higher than anyone,

but now you just bring me lower than anyone.

 

Dear friend,

I just want to stay away from you,

for your health and for mine.

 

Dear friend,

I want you in my life,

but I don't think I can handle it right now.

 

Dear friend,

can you forgive me?
