All I've Asked of You

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

Dear Friend
I need you now
More than words could ever say
In the years I've known you
All I've asked of you
Seemed of mere unimportance
Compared to what I ask of you right now
Please Friend
Stand by me
Through what has happened
And what is going to happen
No matter how hard it will be to see me like this
Stay there
And hold true
Cry along with me if you have to
Please don't hold anything back
And please listen to me
Above all else, if needed
No matter what I speak of
Please listen
Whether it's of suicide
Anger, Abuse, Rape
Just keep your ears open
Speak when you have to
To get through to me
Or to tell me that you care
Compliment me and make me feel important
Make me feel like I'm somebody
And above all
Please
No matter what happens
No matter how crazy it gets
Don't act like nothing happened
It did happen
We can't change that
We have to realise what took place
And learn from it
If we can
It will hurt more for me to see you
Trying to laugh it off
And acting like what I'm going through doesn't matter
Dear Friend
Please help me.

Reason for writing:

    Sometimes it helps just to have someone there beside you when you go through a tough situation. Even if they say nothing but stand there and hold your hand. It helps to see that someone is there and that they care.
