You came into school today,
You were bleeding and in pain
I joked and said "don't slit your wrists"
But all you did was look up in vain.

You said you were trying "different things"
Then showed me scratches on your wrist
I said "Kristen you can't die now,
Don't resort to this"

I saw the pain you caused yourself
I could sense fear in your eyes
I couldn't believe you would leave me now
After years of laughs and cries.

We played basketball before school those days
You seemed so happy then
Then we moved to Middle School
You had trouble fitting in.

You had exhausted all of your options
High school, family, friends
You even went through counselling
But still you had a deadly mind When it came to everyday things

I feel I could have been a slightly better friend
But with all our years together
I never dreamed you would cave in.

I have been there for you
What happens when I am in need of a friend?
Are you really going to leave me
Before the very end?

Kristen, if you're reading this
I know you know who you are
You're my dearest friend
I don't want to watch you die.

Oh My Gosh. That *really* touched me. My best friend and I are going thru the same thing with each other. And it goes both ways, so I know what you're going thru and if you want to talk, I'm here to listen.

As has been said already a very touching write. Unless you feel like it yourself its almost impossible to know what say (and difficult even if you do know what it feels like).

Very well written, honest too.

There should be a psychology of feet. For do we not make decisions with our legs and walk about on our brains? What do you mean "No, not really"?
