Friends

We talk, and talk, and talk, and talk

Everyday we make sure to keep in contact.

Avoid you when I spot you from across the room.


But when I finally try to open up,

About the pain, or lack of, I’ve been feeling

You answer with no more than an ‘oh’.


‘oh’

Telling you my darkest secret.

‘oh’

What’s left of me starts to shatter.

‘oh’

I was asking too much when I asked for your help.


Not that I expected you to cure this unseen illness.

Maybe I just wanted the comfort of someone willing to fight this with me.

My mind’s a battlefield and I’m scared that I’m losing.


So when I think about suicide,

The only thing I hear is ‘oh’.
