How To Save A Life

Gasping struggling to breathe,
Begging, begging desperately not to leave.

Wondering how it got this bad,
Thinking so hard I begin to go mad.

But the sun continues rising
Perpetuating this violent uprising.

Then you came along
And suddenly I belonged.

A knowing smile
And the solitude seemed worthwhile.

Cracking not-so-funny jokes
And finally happiness awoke.

When everything came crashing down
You were there for me.

I want to thank you right now because
You saved my life.
