I Need You As My Friend
by Nina
I've been hurt so very deep
By the one who once made my life complete

He left his scars they do not show
Imprinted them within my soul

So forgive me friend if I get scared
but my emotions are temporarily under repair

I work on this heartbreak everyday
Slowly its damage is drifting away

IF you've ever been here
I know you'll understand

That what I need right now
is for you to stay my friend

I really like this poem because my best friend is going through depression right now and it really helps her if I'm there for her. This poem reminds me of what she is going through right now and I really hope her day is a lot brighter because I sent this to her.
