The Plea of a Confidant by ~ShindouDragon:iconShindouDragon:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


I know your secret, but I won’t tell.
It’s in the smile I see, hides the pain in your eyes and
The ache in your heart. I know
How you feel.

I care for you…

Because in the end, this life leaves us
So alone we have to do this,
Make ourselves perfect…
But perfect is such a vicious word.

Don’t.

You’re unbelievably pretty.
Like a flower reaching for winter
And you’re almost gone…
Lost to the cold nobody can know.

We don’t know anything.

But I care
For you, a bite’s not too hard,
You can get there
If you try, I know you can.

Don’t die,
Sweet flower,
Please
Don’t die.

For everyone out there who just can’t find the strength within them to eat…

This was written after one girl in particular. Someone I don’t know very well, but someone I know enough to see how much she suffers from the illness of which I know more than a lot of people are aware. I want to do something to make her see how special she is but I’m completely unable to help her…

“I need you to know,
I'm not through the night.
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light.
I need you to know,
That we'll be okay,
Together we can make it through another day…” – Courage, Superchick

(Yes, I know, poetry. My God. We shall faint. This was originally a short piece of prose, though - I thought it might work out better as an open stanza poem.)

If you put your mind to it you can do anything you want Drag. You can make someone feel like there's no one else in the world. Trust in yourself. :cuddle:

"I’m completely unable to help her…"
I sort of doubt this :)

Really. I am. I told one of her best friends I was thinking about talking to her and she almost jumped down my throat (in the nicest possible way) you see - nobody really knows this girl... And she's the kind of girl who won't ever want to talk about it.

But I've been reassured she's in good hands...

Oh, I see.. well don't let anyone jump down your throat hehe
I think it's already something that you noticed the girl was in pain and you want to help ;)
