I knew she was falling,
drifting deeper into
the pit she herself has dug.
But she beckoned me to hush.

I saw her bleed, her life
fading with every
crimson drop.
But for her I kept it soft.

I let her wail in her agony,
helplessly trapped in the walls she built.
Each breath weaker than before.
And yet I uttered not.

She found paradise, and it isn't here,
she left the pain
for us to bear,
because I kept quiet.

The sun I could have showed her,
the peace she could have had.
A painful mistake of mine
to have been Silenced.

Thank you very much for reminding me to be a better friend.

I needed to read this this morning.

A thoughtful and caring write that expresses honestly feelings of helplessness that others have felt watching ME--and that I feel for others too.

Thank you.

Yes...thank you for the honesty of this.

An important reminder, indeed.

Hugs to you...
When the power of love overcomes the
love of power the world will know peace.

Thank you. It takes a lot of courage to speak, and takes even more to be a good friend.
