I saw the sadness in your eyes,
How they’d always seem to stray.
I saw the cuts upon your thighs,
How they didn’t go away.
I saw all the long-sleeved shirts,
How you’d blame it on the cat.
I was through your “skinny” wall,
How you’d always call yourself fat.
I saw how boys had treated you,
How they never seemed to stay.
I saw how you cried in your car,
How you never returned that day.
I hope you saw how I needed you,
How I can’t fight the demons alone.
I hope you know how a friendship takes two,
How I can’t do this on my own.
