To Save A Life

It's the moment in your life, the fear of all fears becomes present.
The life in front of you pauses, and everything now
weighs heavily on your shoulders.
When all else has failed and it's up to you,
with a life on a thread, it has come down to this.
Hearing the news and the pain inside them, is enough
to tear your heart apart. And you know, failing isn't an option.
It all comes down to you, their last hope, trying desperately
to hold back hopeless tears. But yet, they fall anyways,
as you desperately try to dry theirs away.
If they jump you fall hard. So here it goes
and you know it's finally time.
Say all the right things, things you weren't allowed before.
Ignore the ones who would curse you for words unspoken,
being spoken. Speak the truth and nothing but the truth.
Time to become closer, heart to heart talks,
bring them back to a better state, no time for mistakes.
Time to hold onto their hands, and prove to them that
Someone really cares. Someones really there.
Because no one deserves to end their life.
No one, and definitely not,
your best friend.
