You took the knife

I had screwed up
and my life was coming to an end
i was gaining enemies
and losing friends

all i wanted
was someone to be here and understand
i needed someone by my side
who would hold my hand

but everyone was leaving
and i was scared and lonely
i was soon the only one
one and only

i became invisible to all
so no one could see
not the pain and hurt
not me

i couldn't understand
why then when things seemed right
when all i wanted
was to be held tight

things got worse
and i was depressed
with my imperfections
i was so obsessed

i held it in my hand
i soon would use the knife
but you showed up
and saved my life

you held me
and said it was going to be OK
that you would never leave me
not one single day

you stayed by my side
and became my best friend
you helped me through my pain
until the very end

you are still here
and i love you very much
for being a friend
and close enough to touch
