Memories

I would push the door open
Terrified at what I would see
The way you looked up
The way you screamed at me

Your eyeliner running
Head in your hands
As you listened to the words
Of your favorite bands

All the troubles in your life
Soon became mine
You could just talk to a friend on the phone
I was the one that was really alone

You begged for help, on your knees
Crying all the time
I wanted to help you
Your pain hurt me too

I thought you would leave me
I saw the cuts on your thigh
Each night I would worry
That you were going to die
