Dear Friend

Please don’t leave my lonely side,
We can fix what we need to mend.
I’ll try my best, please don’t be depressed,
I’m right beside you till the end.
I’ve been your friend for eternity,
No need for ropes or a knife.
Don’t let your emotions get the best of you,
Just please don’t take your own life!
