You’re so beautiful to me
No matter what it is you see
Imaginary flaws and scars all too real
Make you cry and cut to try and feel
Nothing makes the pain go
And everything seems to make it grow
Left alone when you needed a friend
You tried to make your whole life end
They found you there upon death’s door
Laying, bleeding, on the floor
Then flashing lights and sirens’ wail
Told the world your dreary tale
You’re forced to verbalize, to tell
To speak about your private hell
Been taking the hard path all along
I know it’s hard but you’re so strong
But I can hold you; let you cry
‘Til every single tear is dry
And on that day is when you’ll see
That you’re beautiful not just to me
Written for a dear friend.
