You’re dragging me under,
I can no longer breath,
Don’t bring me down,
A breath I seize. Y

You’re dragging me under,
Your lies and drugs,
I hide all my anger,
Behind my hugs.

You’re dragging me under,
Why me?
I’m your best friend Caitlin,
Don’t you see?

You’re dragging me under,
You can’t go down alone,
You made your own mistakes,
Its very well known.

You’re dragging me under,
I tell her, “ the drugs, they don’t make you cool.”
She says, “leave me alone.”
She’s hated all over school.

You’re dragging me under,
Its part of her plan,
Well it won’t works this time,
Everyone knows these scams.

You’re dragging me under,
The devils shinning threw,
Just go away,
I really do hate you.

You’re dragging me under,
In you, I don’t know what I saw,
I guess it’s all over,
You’re by yourself for the long haul.

You’re dragging me under,
All the tears that I cry,
You’re not worth it anymore,
You, and your stupid lies.

You’re dragging me under,
I can’t take you,
You suffocate me,
I turn black and blue.

You’re dragging me under,
But I will succeed,
Just please, stay away from me,
You’re the last thing I need.

It's so hard to see a friend destroy themselves.  You want to be there for the friend - and you want to remain safe.  It's not easy - at any age.

Hugs to you, AND prayers for your friend.

Sunshine is so very right, and all I can add is that sometimes you have to put distance between yourself and the situation in order to let that person help themselves, instead of using you.  Such a true poem, and a very involved subject...you covered it completely, the pain, the sadness, and loss of a friend.  I wish you well, and also strength.......God Bless

I have been there...and we sometimes must save ourselves first.

Sending prayers for your friend's survival--and yours. At times, one must step back to save one's own self. It appears that you have done your best to help your friend, but she is not ready to listen and you cannot allow her to drag you under with her.

Healing hugs for you both,
Earth Angel
