If Only I Could See

When I was young I’m sorry I failed to see The great suffering Of those around me Sorry I didn’t realize Those were scars on your neck When to me It was all just a loving peck Sorry I didn’t mind When you went to the ocean With the intend to end your life All I saw were covered lies When you spent unholy hours of the night Crying just hoping you’d die Sorry I wasn’t here to Keep you warm and tell you it will all be alright But now that I see all that I couldn’t I also realized how late one can be To see all that happened right in front of me I failed to understand your pain And threw all my problems at you in hopes of aid Now that you’ve left me in vain I’m broken and shattered unlike the child me By now I hope that your happy As one can ever truly be Because I love you and Wish that you’ll see The broken pieces you left in me

This is a poem I wrote for by best friend who was hurting I didn’t realize what he went through back then but now that I do I wish nobody would have to go through such a thing ever and if you are hurting just know you have help and people do care
