Helpless

I could see the sadness in her eyes
Yet she never shed a tear
She accepted what was wrong
There was nothing she could do

Depression consuming her
Yet no one knows a thing
Except me
I promised never to tell
It eats at me
Screams to get out
Yet I refuse
She got better
Or so I thought
Then she came back
Worse than before
I thought the worst could come no more
Inflicting pain upon herself
Says it feels good
Lightning in her eyes tells me to not ask a thing
I can take it no more
She’s heading for death
I tell
I am scared
I know It won’t be the same now
I know that she now knows
He told her
I cry inside
I think she is too
What is she going to do?
At first she is mad
Then she thanks me
I think I helped her
But she is still depressed
I can never help her
I need to let the hope go
Maybe death is something peaceful
She is my best friend
Yet maybe life isn’t what she needs for the pain to end.
