please

Tell me your late night plans
Because regardless of what you think
You’ve never been alone
There is still light inside of you
You should not be ashamed of who you are
Please
Don’t hide from me
You don’t deserve to die
You don’t need to die
Look at me
And tell me
Why
Why is it you feel this is your only option
I know you don’t want to be alive
But please,
Live for me
I love you too much to let you go quietly
You are not a ghost
Look at us
Because you are still glowing
Friend, please
You deserve better than this
Even if you don’t feel like it
You do
You mean so much more than you think
You are worth more than you think
Please,
Tell me your plans for tonight
I want to show you the light
And I won’t let you go until we both do
I know my words might not help,
But I will listen to every last thing you have to say
Scream, yell, cry
Get it all out
Because I don’t want you to be the next obituary
The next vigil
The next news story
Please,
Don’t take your life away from me…
