Like A Friend Poem by Emily Torres

like a friend, your there for me
top shelf, left corner.
you sit, and you wait for one day when i come home overloaded.
todays your day
as i let you back into my life
a quick swipe against my skin dulls the pain that has broken my heart today.
as the tears fall and the blood drips
i lie here hopeing for the pain in my heart to go away.
slowly being replaced by the sting against my skin.
my heart cries out for him but he will never know.
i can never let it show...the tears i shed.
the blood that i let go.
like a friend, you await our next incounter
with a cheerful gleam.
i cry. im breaking. im bleeding. and theres nothing he can do.
so i can only turn to you...my friend.
to help me make it through another day.
help me make it through the night...without him.
